I am sure you haven't done damage. Your band is giving you feedback. Telling you that your choices weren't too good and that probably you ate too quickly and/or too much.

yep.. too much ... and probably too soon, but no damage done i would think. its very sensitive right now. you will get a lot of reaction to your choices of meals and how you eat it. be careful. Its a big thing that you have had done

. Ive been very sensitive right up to now even , after my first fill. ive just accepted it, that maybe thats the way i will be. thats o.k. for me. i will adjust. in fact, i think that the ''tool' is working well , even through the discomfort felt, and the pain in the shoulder. It will certainly keep me in line... and im losing just over a pound a week, which is ideal for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
