I was just banded March 10, and aside from feeling groggy and out of it for the first two days, I've rebounded totally nicely. Aside from the staples holding incisions closed on my tummy, it's easy for me to forget I was banded less than a week ago (I know from reading the boards here that I'm one of the lucky ones). Here's my problem. I pushed the post-op diet and chowed down chicken breast and veggies that were in a soup I was eating yesterday (5 days post-op). I was super hungry, and it was only after eating that I remembered that, oh no, I'm not supposed to be eating anything "real" yet (I'm supposed to be all liquids for a week). I'm not asking for forgiveness -- I know what I did was WRONG, especially because it DOES NOT FOLLOW doctor's directions, and I've already retreated to the liquid phase I'm supposed to be following post-op. I just need to know how paranoid I should be that I've irrevocably damaged myself. I'm not in any pain, and the liquids I'm on are going through just fine. I feel like this is the bandster version of those gut-wrenching, guilt-inducing driver's ed movies we had to watch back in the days. All I can say is, lesson learned.
