New band patient and I may have messed up.

I got my band Friday March 29 and I am always starving so the passed two days I ate big dinners that were kinda mushy foods not really. I didn't think I would be this hungry and I try not to eat, but it's hard! Any suggestions or help!! I have lost 15 lbs but gained 2 back

By eating other than what the doctor or dietitian recommends can hurt the surgery. Your band area has to heal, you had major surgery. Maybe call your dietitian tomorrow and ask for help. I had a lot of sf Popsicles. Good luck.

Staying on the post surgery diet has nothing to do with weight loss. The band was sewn into your stomach and by eating large meals with solid food at this point could cause the sutures to tear away and cause your band to slip.

You need to heal before you blow off the surgeons diet. It gets harder until you are fully healed and at restriction. Ask yourself if you want this or not. You have to WANT it more than anything else!

You're right...you messed up...you missed your chance.......NOT!......

You were just banded....what do you think is going to be different today than what is was before March 29th ?

The early phase of this is VERY hard...as though there is no band at all....that's why it is adjustable. Over the next few months it will get better as the band is adjusted.....

In my case it took a good 4 months of "White Knuckling" it, then another 2 months getting it figured out.....

Go EASY on yourself....we have ALL been there...if anyone says they were not, then they did not need Weight Loss Surgery.....

Hello, I am actually doing a lot better I went to a support group that the place I got it at offered and they gave me ideas on things I can't eat that I thought I couldnt and yes it is normal that your hungry they said once I get my first feeling the hunger will go away.

I am so glad to hear that it will go away with the fill. My first fill will be in may. I will do my best to eat what the doctor prescribed and not stray. I need to attend a support group too. Do you ever fill full?

Drink all day long...water, crystal lite iced tea...it will help you feel full. I remember one night in the beginning I actually woke up in the middle of the night because I was hungry! (And that never happened pre band). It gets easier.
