dishdiva 5 Posted December 25, 2005 I also was cleared for mushies earlier than most by the nutrionist because I wasn't keeping liquids down. Then I moved to solids probably way sooner than most. I'm big on testing boundaries..."let's just see how far we can push this band..." Did it cause my slip? Probably. I'll never forget after my revision surgery, I told my surgeon that I had zero restriction, unlike the first time when I got full after two teaspoons of Jello. I said something like, "I feel like I could eat as much as I want..." his reply was "DON'T." Not exactly great advice for a fat girl. Anyway, I still push my boundaries because I feel like my band hasn't been working right from the get-go. Would my outcome be different if I was 100 percent compliant with doctors orders -- sometimes ambiguous...sometimes conflicting with other doctors? Who knows?
