I had my surgery march 11th and yesterday I cheated and I ate a piece of popcorn chicken, I chewed it really really really good but I have to say I felt so guilty and scared that I was going to mess up my band. It wasn't worth all of that for me and I am going to stick to my doctors rules. I do have to say it is frustrating that every doctor is so different, I did 3 weeks liquids pre-op and will be 2 weeks liquids post op and when I read on here that people are on mushys already it doesn't help me lol. My husband advised me to stop reading this because its giving me ideas that I don't need to have. I suppose we should all just follow the rules. However not listening to my husband telling me to stop coming on here lol it has been so helpful and provides so much support I appreciate it!!!
