Just because you can eat it doesn't mean you should. Your body needs to heal. Stick to the diet your doctor ordered. Good luck to you!

It's a little late to second guess the surgery. Why not instead, allow your body to heal, follow doctors orders, and decide to be a compliant patient. What you actually do is up to you, but I can tell you I would not trade my band for anything. It is best thing I ever did for myself.

Your stomach has been manipulated, moved, wounded, and sutured. Your doctor gave you a strict post op diet to give your stomach time to heal. By cheating, you are putting yourself at very real risk very serious complications.

Get back on your post op diet. You say you don't know if you can go through with this- I hate to tell you this but now you don't have a choice. You have to be smart, follow your doctor's orders, and give your stomach time heal. Your only choice in the matter right now is to either do the right thing and follow your post op diet or continue to cheat and risk hurting yourself badly.

Hang in there. We all survived it and so will you.
