I left the house for the first time today. I am day 4 post op. Well I stopped with my friend at Bojangles and got a single serving of mashed potatos. I only took about 3 bites. Now I feel terrible. I dont know if its the food or my conscious. I really want to succeed with this lap band. I was just so hungry. Now I feel like my stomach is ballooned. Please help!!!!

Hope you feel better, I am not sure if you messed up or not. After i was banded i was on liquids for two weeks...Hope you feel better good luck

I started eating mashed potatoes and yogurt after 4 days just eat slowly.

I think it depends on what your doctor gave you for a post-op diet plan. I had 1 week clear liquids; then 1 week full liquids, 1 week pureed food then normal food.

What were you given as a post-op diet?

i'm getting banded tomorrow and i am to be on a liquid diet for only 2 days and then start progressing to individual pureed foods - only an ounce at a time. pureed for 2 weeks, soft solid for a week and then slowly solid food chewed really well. anyone else with that kind of plan??

lol I'm sure you are fine....I did the same thing....I would dip my fork in the potatoes because i just felt like I need something in me.
