So today was post op day 6 for me. I was mashing up some avocado for my 10 month old son and I had some. The all liquids have been rough. But i regret it so much and will not cheat at all anymore. But I am having anxiety that my band will slip. I am so disappointed in myself. What a failure already! I will make this work, and never cheat again. I feel full. But my chest is sore. But it could be from my hiatal hernia repair. Any hopeful words? I am self pay and do not want my band to slip!!

I am day 8, your not a failure, are you kidding? One day at a time, saying you'll never cheat again is setting yourself up for failure. Your ok! Hang in there, if it was mushed I'm sure it's ok, for me from day 8-15 I can have soft puréed foods. So if I purée an Avacoda I'm ok....you are too!

It's okay! Stick with it. Today is my day five and I think i just had my first stomach hunger since surgery and it is frustrating. The liquids are tough. Hey- it could have been worse. You just had mashed up avocado, not a cookie or anything, so don't beat yourself up!

I agree, it could be worse. You took the first step, getting banded. It's a journey like anything else, some good days...some not so good. I am hungry today.....

take it one day at a time if avacado is not on the list of foods approved by ur dr then just dont eat it again the first few weeks are the hardest it will get better you will eat again dont worry. the pain in your chest is most likely gas i dont think you damaged anything band slippage dangers are more common later on when ur band is actually filled but with that said what u do now can affect u later so follow the rules dont beat yourself up for a little slip up they will happen again but you will be find for now just follow the rules they are there for a reason especially at your early stage .....it gets better :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
