In Pain and Feeling Stupid... need advice

[migbt 0]

:help: Got banded January 12 ( 17 days)....

Went to the South Florida fair today. I wasn't there 1/2 hour and convinced my husband that I could eat fried dough because I had read that I wouldn't have any restriction until my first fill......WRONG!!!!!!

O. M. G. I felt such pain! I remember reading NOT to drink anything and I walked around and that didn't help so I knew I had to find the bathroom. I stuck my finger down my throat [sorry : - ) ] and got sick. My poor husband was so worried

I felt better and walked around and knew again that I needed a bathroom. Got sick again. Got home and had some applesauce... ?slimed? I think they call it.

It has been a learning expereince.

DO I HAVE TO GO BACK ON LIQUIDS.......???????????

It would be a good idea to go back on liquids for 24/48 hours. If in doubt, call your doctor's office.

Yes, go back on liquids! If you aren't better in a few days, then call your doctor. Good Luck!

Wow, are you on liquids or mushies or regular diet? I was on liquids for 2 weeks and then mushies for two weeks post banding. My doctor told me if you feel anything sticking to drink something hot like tea. Welcome to The Band Land. Even though you like fried dough obvioulsy your band does not. :hungry:

Thanks. I still feel tightness in my chest, but I am grateful it wasn't worse.

I am on mushies. Don't even ask me what I was thinking! :faint:

Don't feel bad. I did the same thing but with pancakes! Sounds like you learn the hard way too!! Feel better soon!

We all will make mistakes with our eating. Anytime that happens I always take it easy for awhile and do liquids or mushies. Shawn

My first pb experience was with a banana .... a soft? :Banane29: Mushy? Creamy? :Banane39: banana? It was the worst pb of my life!

We all make poor decisions or think that we can tolerate a certain food and find out that we were seriously mistaken. Living with the band is a continual learning experience. I bet you won't be eating fried dough anytime soon again -- Don't beat yourself up over it, but do take care of yourself and your band. I agree with the one's that advised you to go back to liquids for a day or two to let you heal up again.

*** totally off subject In searching for banana smilies, did I see banana porn ?!?!?! I would have to say that's a first.....:becky:
