I ate a piece of pizza today, is it going to hurt me?

I had my surgery on Jan 20th. I have had one fill and I feel no restriction. Once in a while I feel something if I don't chew well. I am hungry alot. I have ate some things that I know that I shouldn't like a pieceof pizza. Will that hurt my band or just not helping to lose weight. Will I feel restriction or is my band not right?

I have a welt near one of my scars. I had my surgery on Jan. 20 - anyone know why I would get a welt near my scar now?:thumbup:

yes, they've all healed well. I know the pizza wasn't a good diet choice. It's the first time I have done that and I feel really bad about it.

No, I don't hurt. I don't feel any restriction. Once in a while I will feel something if I don't chew real well. I guess I just feel guily eating the piece of pizza. My nutritionist says no bread at all.

It is right at the end of my middle scar and it looks like a bug bite. I got it during the same time period that I ate something that I shouldn't have. I am paranoid I guess. I don't feel any restriction and I am hungry alot. I ate a little salad and a piece of pizza tonight. Will the pizza hurt me?

How do you make sure you are not eating too much. Its not like you can take your scales? Afterwards, I am afraid I ate too much. I haven't had a fill yet.

What were you eating on day 15 after surgery - soft food stage

My nutritionist told me that I didn't need to puree scrambled eggs or applesauce. She did tell me not to have the eggs in the morning.

I was banded on Jan 20th and came home on the 21st. Some pain in my chest area and the incisions but nothing unbearable. I don't know if the chest area pain is a gassy pain or not. I am on clear liquids until tomorrow and then I start full liquids, any ideas on the different types of things to eat?

Getting a little nervous and on pre op diet - any suggestions??

Does it matter what type of pre op diet you are on or just that you lose weight?

Thanks Judy, you've been a great help - Good Luck

I get banded on the 20th and I didn't get a lot of pre-op diet instructions either. I was told an all liquid diet and I am worried that I am not doing it right either. Not sure if there is much room for any light meal other than protein drinks??

Pre Op Diet - Why are they pre op diets so different - some 14, 10 and 5 days? I am on 5 day liquid diet and have been doing really good but today I ate cream soup with little chicken pieces and part of a bread stick and I am a little worried.

It's really confusing - I started liquid diet on Thursday and today I had a cream soup with little chicken pieces and a piece of a bead stick and I am a little worried. I have had two No Sugar Instant Breakfast drinks today as well. Can you have diet pop before surgery?

Does it matter what kind of diet your on pre-op or is just that you lose weight?

My insurance denied me because the counselor in the pysc eval said that I have post traumatic stress disorder that stems from my childhood and being raised with an alcoholic father. I sleep walk and talk but am not suicidal and do not think about death. Is their anything that I can do to get approved. I don't really think that within 1 hour and some questions, it is fair that he label me with PTSD. I was really looking forward to this and now I feel my chance is gone. Any words of advice?

I'm not really against therapy but I guess I didn't expect it to cause the surgery to be denied. I have walked and talked in my sleep all of my life. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until this.
