Okay, so I am very newly banded (May 20th) and Im already feeling defeated! I know that I am supposed to be on my liquid and protein based liquids, but I have already cheated. Had a few solids here and there, and even a binge session. Have I messed everything up? I have my follow up appointment tomorrow, and Im almost scared to go. I do have a lot of pain in my stomach area, could it be that I have prolapsed my pouch? I thought I was going to do so well and I already feel like giving up. Has anyone else experienced this? I am really looking for some comfort and encouragement. Thanks!

Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences. Today is my second day since surgery and I am already feeling hungry. My liquid diet is for weeks one and two. Yikes! I am older (61) and had a large hernia repaired. I wonder if that's why my liquid phase is longer. Anyway, all of your comments might help me get through it. Thanks for being here.
