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!!!!

You didn't screw up but be very careful. Your doctor makes you follow a schedule for a reason. Your insides are swollen right now and the reason that you are on liquids is so that you don't get stuck. I'm sure most of what you are feeling is guilt right now. We all make mistakes, but we have to learn how to get back on track afterwards. Everyday is a learning process with your band. Just try very hard to stick with the plan that your doctor gave to you. You don't want to stretch your band. You will feel better once you get into the mushie stage. Just don't push it.

I am glad that you are feeling well enough to get out of the house with your friend after only 4 days. That's great. Good luck to you and congratulations.

Astrasmom, Thank you so much for your kind words. Lots of times the doc dont take the time to explain thing so we unmedical people can understand. Thanks for your advice.:scared2:
