So today was post op day 6 for me. I was mashing up some avocado for my 10 month old son and I had some. The all liquids have been rough. But i regret it so much and will not cheat at all anymore. But I am having anxiety that my band will slip. I am so disappointed in myself. What a failure already! I will make this work, and never cheat again. I feel full. But my chest is sore. But it could be from my hiatal hernia repair. Any hopeful words? I am self pay and do not want my band to slip!!

I am day 8, your not a failure, are you kidding? One day at a time, saying you'll never cheat again is setting yourself up for failure. Your ok! Hang in there, if it was mushed I'm sure it's ok, for me from day 8-15 I can have soft puréed foods. So if I purée an Avacoda I'm ok....you are too!

I mean puréed!

WTF! Purée

It's okay! Stick with it. Today is my day five and I think i just had my first stomach hunger since surgery and it is frustrating. The liquids are tough. Hey- it could have been worse. You just had mashed up avocado, not a cookie or anything, so don't beat yourself up!

I agree, it could be worse. You took the first step, getting banded. It's a journey like anything else, some good days...some not so good. I am hungry today.....

avacados are ok iwouldnt worry to much just nobread or rice or pasta forawhile

take it one day at a time if avacado is not on the list of foods approved by ur dr then just dont eat it again the first few weeks are the hardest it will get better you will eat again dont worry. the pain in your chest is most likely gas i dont think you damaged anything band slippage dangers are more common later on when ur band is actually filled but with that said what u do now can affect u later so follow the rules dont beat yourself up for a little slip up they will happen again but you will be find for now just follow the rules they are there for a reason especially at your early stage .....it gets better
