I feel so bad I did my first week good with fluids and this week has been hard I ate beans and soups but I also ate a piece of hotdog and three chips , eggs . I am supposed to be on mashed food I gain two pounds I only been banded 10 days . From the 14 of August to the 21st I was doing good I hope I didn't make my band bigger! I am not strong enough to do this I thought I was my first fill is September 13 what to do ?????

Hi... put this day behind you and start tomorrow as a new day.

Did you only have to do liquids for 1 week? Were you give a post op menu plan to follow. I know each doctor is different.

My Post Op plan was...

Week 1 - Clear Fluids

Week 2 - Full Fluids

Week 3 - Mushie Foods

Week 4 - Solid to "Normal foods"

Try and take it one day at a time... but remember your still healing and some people don't lose until they get a fill. Each person is different. Don't worry about the 2 lbs. You just had surgery and your body needs time heal and adjust.

If you have access to a support group I strongly suggest you try and go to a group meeting. I found support from other bandsters to be very helpful (and still do) especially in the beginning.

Hang in there... it does get better and easier.
