migbt 0 Posted January 30, 2006 :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.......??????????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parvathi 2 Posted January 30, 2006 It would be a good idea to go back on liquids for 24/48 hours. If in doubt, call your doctor's office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted January 30, 2006 Yes, go back on liquids! If you aren't better in a few days, then call your doctor. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doubletrouble 0 Posted January 30, 2006 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCBSTX 0 Posted January 30, 2006 We all will make mistakes with our eating. Anytime that happens I always take it easy for awhile and do liquids or mushies. Shawn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banded14yr 2 Posted January 30, 2006 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
