Don't feel so bad, but try to do what have to do - learn from it and try not to do it again. I was banded on 3/03/11 and am on full liquids. My family all went out to dinner tonight and I ate refried Beans w/cheese & sour cream and a chile relleno! All this was about a full cup of food. I feel like crap for doing it and my left shoulder is achy, but - it is what it is, and I am back on the "Band"wagon for sure LOL. We are only human and this is a major change for us.

Hello everyone I am new to the board. I was banded 2-23-2011 almost 2 weeks ago. Anyways Im 22 and have a daughter who loves to eat pizza! I have found myself finishing the pizza that she does not eat! I am on the soft food phase for 12 more days and I am cheating by constantly nibbling on things i should not be having. I dont have any problems so far with the food going down my band. I lost 16 pounds so far and have been at a stall for the past 3 days. No one around me has the band so I figured I would join this site to kind of keep me motivated! Right now I feel like I can eat anything and it goes down just fine. I do make sure I do not eat more than a cup of food. I feel bad cheating and want to know if any of you experienced this when your were first banded. Sorry for venting I am just a lil fustrated with myself.

Not the 8th, but the 3rd, good luck.

Looking for anyone who is getting banded the same day as me. There's something oddly comforting knowing that others will be having the procedure on the same day.
