:confused:Soooo- i was banded on 2/27 and I am 3 days away from eating 100% solids- and today i messed up.. I had a bite of chicken that i made the the crock pot for my husband- it was already so soft- and i chewed it until it was liquid...then i had a 1/2 a crossiant AND i had a egg white cup (with spinach) My doc has put me on 100% liquids for 21 days and then i can go on 100% solids. I dont feel sick, and i didnt feel uncomfortable... i dont plan on straying from my liquids again until wednesday when my 21 days is up... do you think i did any damage???? I hate admitting this as i type but it makes me realize that what i did was wrong......any advice?

You didn t do anything that I ll bet we ve all done.And if it didn t get stuck and make you hurt-you are ok.

Quit feeling guilty.....lol we are human.

Yup - fine. I had surgery on the 4th of march and I'm making crab cakes for dinner. I was told i can eat anything i can mash with a fork...and i can mash just about anything with my fork if i want it badly enough!

I was on normal food by weeks end.

Some docs say eat what you can tolerate, as did mine.

No worries. If you could diet, you wouldn't have gotten the band...and your doctor knows this.

Just take it slow when introducing foods to your band.

You are fine. I am really glad the food went down okay. That is a very good sign. Just stay on truck until day 21. You haven't slipped your band or anything as you don't have restriction yet. Good job getting back on track and being honest. I did the same thing early banding.

I ate some solid foods before the proper time period and I did just fine as well.

Just remember to always chew your few well are you will get uncomfortable in a hurry.

OOOhhh...I am 6 days Post Op, and I was dying for soda....But I thought my stomach was gonna explode if I drank some. So, my mom told me to just put a lot of ice in a small cup and just sip it...Kinda let it Water down.Mannnn, I think that was the best drink I have ever had!!!!!!

You are like me. Soda is my vice in life. Pepsi, at that. After surgery that's what I wanted. But nope while in the hospital. I finally had some Pepsi by day 4. And it foamed up. I did the ice thing...nope, still foamed. So I got Mt. Dew..... the rest is history.

I go thru about a 2 liter every week. Packed with ice and use a straw. Some days I just drink off the top...like an ounce or two. But some days I drink several glasses.

Koolaid brand Orange coolaid.... I started using this and it actually satisfies me just as much as Mt. Dew. I use a 1/2 and 1/2 Splenda/Sugar mix.

Those who drink soda...just know that you'll still lose weight with the band...but your weightloss will be a slower.
