Burping and reckless diet

[bandmetiff 0]

I don't know what the hell I am doing, I am dying for some major advice. I had my surgery 1/14/2016 almost three weeks post op and I still feel as if I'm screwing up.

I was so swollen yesterday from eating boiled chicken (which I was told I could have it) then a day later one of the nurses said "No you can't have that" so today I tried to just relax and not eat as much, I had tuna and my regular Popsicle and now I have major pressure in my chest. I just feel like I'm screwing up my band. I just don't know what to do. No matter what I eat I feel like I'm screwing everything up.

Please give me as much advice as possible. HELP ME!!

Slow down... This is going to be okay. Shhhhh... There we go.

Okay?

Let's start with "week three sucks." That seems to be universal.

You are healing. Shit's still wacky. Prioritize.

Get Water in first.

Then think Protein.

chicken at this stage should be a slurry. Wet not dry.

And week three sucks.

When you irritate that stomach, its likely to swell and your volumes will be different.

My hub has band, I have sleeve. We are totally different. He is 6 or so years into this, I'm new.

Our priority is water, Vitamins, protein, and then calories and not vomiting as distant goals.

Keep in mind, you need extremely little food to live. You could drink shakes only for the rest of your life and survive well. There is no hurry to "get back to normal". Just chill.

And week 3 sucks.

Thank you for the advice, I'm trying to calm down just don't want to screw up what I waited so long for. Yes week three does suck. I'm just ready to get a swing of things because everything seems wrong.

Thanks for the advice for now on I'm getting my water in before eating.
