I'm starting to feel hungrier faster and notice that I'm picking up Snacks (healthy ones like grapes and cheese) but still...

My appointment isn't until Oct 23 and that's when I'll begin transitioning from puréed and mushies to solids so I already know I won't be getting a fill.

I don't think I'm sabotaging my diet by my recent snacking but I do know it's not a good habit. I'll just keep calorie counting and walking and hopefully I don't hit a stall! :/

No, you're not sabotaging your diet because the post op diet has nothing to do with weight loss. It's about giving your body time to heal.

You are, however, seriously sabotaging your body and risking major complications.

Your stomach has been sutured, manipulated, and overall injured. By cheating on your post op diet you are risking ripping those stitches and/or causing a band slip.

Get back on your doctor's post op diet, follow it exactly, and don't cheat. It's not worth the risks.

Awe you've been doing so good... Don't beat yourself up just do what she said. Wth do I know, I'm still pre-band and on pre-op diet and that is already feeling like hell. Just know you've been motivating to me so far!! It's good to get on here and be honest and most of the feedback is helpful. Anyway fight the urges u can do it!!!

You are normal. And this is your new lifestyle. It takes a bit to get used to new habits. Please think of your big picture. Where you will be 1-2-3 years from now. Relax and let the band work with your body. Best of luck

I been having some grapes too, but right after a drink, since takes the bad taste out of my mouth, i am very careful not to swallow the skins...i feel really good, i got banded a week ago and I don't know when I am going to se my doctor!
