Admitting :: i cheated

[Smiles4Di 61]

I am a week and 2 days post op and my family went to dinner tonight and I thinking I was ready had a normal meal and man am i paying for it.....word to those who will listen .... Do NOT rush the process!

My doctor was very vague about post op nutrition so I have just been doing research and listening to others but I'm back to liquids and slight mushies.... This pain isn't worth it

Thanking God for heating pads tonight.....hope sleep comes soon!

Smiles, we all go through this, some of us more readily admit it. I have had my so call bad choice days over the past 2 years and I have paid dearly for each one of them. My episode early on was with some tortilla chips and salsa from our local Mexican restaurant. I was actually very scared and so afraid I had hurt my band but luckily I didn't but I did learn and yes I also said thank god for heating pads that night. Good luck to you in this journey, I can only speak for my self but for me it has been successful and rewarding. Wishing you the best!

Thanks so much for your kind words....tonight help put a lot into perspective for me......I did surgery because I didn't want to be the same me.....I just think its hard admitting that fact to others because you don't want to make them feel bad or inconvenienced because of your life change.

Thanks goodness pain is letting up and I'm researching personal trainers to make the time go by

Yes we all do this one time or another. My worst night mare was downing some steak after getting a fill as I become very swollen after my fills for a long time. Needless to say i was in agony for a long time and stuck so badly I could not breathe. We all make mistakes but the key is to learn from them so you don't do it again. I surely would ask them for post op eating instructions because right now that is the most important phase for you.

we learn best from our mistakes and once in awhile down the road it will happened on food we didn't expect sometime I think this band has a mine of it own.haha take it easy today and keep drinking slowly
