LB_Andy reacted to ccsbulldog in Freaking OutI would contact your doctor. I had my surgery 6 days ago and I am also on a liquid diet. I find that the shakes (sugar free carnation) and my non fat high protein yogarts and my cream soups are filling me to only eat every 4 hours. It doesn't seem right that you are able to eat all of that food. I'd worry about doing something to my band or worse!

LB_Andy reacted to Poinzy05 in Freaking OutHi. Dont freak out. Keep with the liquid/mushies your suppose to be on. Just because you can eat those things, you shouldnt. Your still healing. Yes you dont have restriction right now. Because you dont have much fluid in your band at the moment. Right now is all about healing and having your own will power to keep with the diet. The band is a tool. When you start getting fills then it will start working for you. But you have to have your own will power to make the best choices. Good luck to you.

LB_Andy reacted to B-52 in Freaking OutYou keep eating like that, so close to post surgery - 10 days, and your band will slip - OR WORSE.
You ask for help? What can one possibly tell you? Did your Dr. not give you specific instructions?
When I first read this post I was skeptical it is for real.
Without getting into much detail, I work in Healthcare. I travel to different Hospitals, clinics and see patients all day. All pediatrics with their families. I am there to provide a service because they have a need.
In order for me to work with them and have successful positive outcomes, they have to meet me half way and be cooperative.
When a patient does not, it is though I am wasting their time, when actually they are wasting mine.
In other words, Your Dr. is providing a service for your benefit...LISTEN TO HIM. If not, don't expect his best either.
