Hi All,

I was banded on 22nd of August (single incision). After my surgery I felt immediate restriction (i know its not the real one) yet I lost around 20 lbs. Now the issue is, I want to first apologize of all those who I judged before my surgery on their "cheats". I am an official cheater and scared to dead of a slippage. Please do not judge me like I judged many of you.

On the day 8th day post op, I ate some grapes and cheese. on the 11th day post op, I ate a sandwich. after that i felt an immerse pain under my left chest and lower left back ( I guess this is kidney). I got nauseated and vomited a bit stomach Water.

I don't have vomiting feeling now, i feel still restricted yet not like day one and I am wondering if I had a slippage the day I had that pain? I also have a constant pain, not much yet its there, under my left breast.

anyone with an advice?

I am 5 dayd post op and I had a little cheat last night. I had taken my pain medication (so I was a little out of it) and ate a little kettle popcorn! I scared myself so much that I don't think I will cheat again! I am able to keep liquids down (haven't vomited at all) but I was really bloated which I guess could be from surgery! Anyone else cheat with popcorn? Thanks!

I was always scared to eat what was not on my post op progression diet. I might have ate an extra bit of Jello, yougurt etc but I couldn't even fathom eating a sandwich. I am 6mos post op and cannot eat bread at all.

I hope you learned why the diet is a progressive one and I would call your doc to see if you need to be seen. I would go back to mushies and liquids for now if I were you.

I hope you feel better and take it one week at a time! :biggrin:

I have NO CLUE how you ate a sandwich.

I am (7) months out and still can't eat bread because it gets stuck everytime.

i am happy that you put this up here. because i also cheated some today. i am supposed to be on pureed foods but i ate a small amount of eggs soft potatoes and whole wheat toast. i chewed well and ate slowly and have had no problems but i feel like a failure:sad:

Don't feel so bad...I have been cheating also and I had my surgery Aug 30 a week ago today. I feel just like you. I told my sister today that I will be the only obese person with a lap band in the world. I guess I just won't let it work:cursing:
