I know I'm going to get chewed out for

I did the same I'm still losing weight though and I haven't damage nothing i feel fine

How long are you supposed to be on liquids?

Now that its done, just be careful from here on out. A leak could be life threatening.

For tomorrow I already have my pudding, yogurt, and creamy soup already in 2oz containers waiting...I don't wont to sabotage nothing else.

I'm supposed to be on full liquid for 2 more weeks.

I know I'm going to get chewed out for this. I really need motivation I'm 6 days post-op and Im supposed to be on full liquids. I ate a baked potato today and 4 chicken nuggets all throughout the day plus all the liquids. I've been upset and crying the last two hrs because I know I could've possibly damaged something. I know the reason I did this surgery and I'm trying my hardest but I gave it.

what's done is done - get up, brush yourself off, and start over

Hang in there and stay strong.

How much of the potato and chicken nuggets did you eat?

I ate all the nuggets and 3 nibbles of bake potato

I think something that will help is to visualize your little swollen stomach. Right now it is only about the circumference of a coffee stirrer (not even a straw). So when you think about what you eat, think about it trying to get thru that little space. That is good motivation to stay on plan tomorrow (great that you have your 2 oz containers already made up!). I would try to think of the liquid phase not as a "diet," but as something that is medically necessary, sort of like any pre-op instructions that you had. Be glad your plan allows pudding and yogurt at this stage--I couldn't touch anything like that until 3 weeks post-op. Good luck...I know you will do better tomorrow! Be careful, bc complications like leaks can be really awful, and as someone else said, life threatening.

I did the same thing with pizza , but I ended up ok. I'm 3 months out next week and down 60 pounds. Don't fret, do as others have suggested, get back on the band wagon and try to remember that the consequences of not following your surgeons orders and eating whats good for your body will not just be extra pounds anymore but could be a life threatening situation. One of my biggest motivating thoughts to stay on track is that I could really hurt my body if I don't.

Hoping the best for you! You got this!

Did you chew until they were mushy I hope. You need to take a step back and realize why you had this surgery. You are probably alright, but you can not keep this behavior up. Right now your stomache is numb because of the nerves that were cut during the operation. So you probably would not feel the pain if you did any damage. Call your surgeon and let him know what you did. Maybe he can have you come in and get a barium test to make sure. I wish you the best. Just remember food will always be there. You need to treat your stomache like it is a newborns stomache.

Hey Darlin,

This new journey is hard and yeah, you shouldn't have eaten that stuff but you know that. Just take this as a turning point and make a stand to do better. You will screw up from time to time but let that be later on. We dont want you to damage your new tummy while it is healing. If you start to feel like you are struggling, get on here an talk to us, dont give into those food demons! You can do this!!!!! Just let your tummy have a little time to heal an then you will be able to eat baked potatoes and chicken before you know it.

Stop beating yourself up, just get up, dust off and start over! Good job about being prepared for tomorrow. Keep that up and get rid of things that could sabotage you...if dont bye them and dont keep them around, it will be much easier on you!

Remember you can do this and you are worth it! Sending good thoughts your way!

Kicking someone when they're down has never been my style...you know that you slipped up, and so soon after surgery those decisions aren't to be taken lightly...however, what I think would be a better way to expend your energy than crying about the mistake is to a) give yourself an honest answer for why you succumbed to temptation and what you are going to do the next (million) time(s) to have a different outcome.

Please do not be hard on yourself. After I all, we gained alot of weight because we LOVE food not hate it, right? I remember sitting in the doctor office 2 days after I had my lap band in place and I could over hear another patient saying she was post op Day 1 and ate a porterhouse steak and still was hungry! I couldn't even keep down Water. Everyone is different- and remember your stomach was operated on- not your brain, it still thinks the same way. I say post some pics of yourself that you REALLY REALLY hate on the fridge, on the pantry, in your wallet- anywhere you have food or may be tempted to eat- and look at it, really look at it. And please continue to come here where you are safe and in the same boat with all of us to support you. After all, who really wants to vent or whine to a naturally skinny person???? I'm here for you....message me anytime. My lap band removal and sleeve revision is next Friday. I know I will need the support too.

Hugs!
