I messed up...help



Recommended Posts

:confused:Soooo- i was banded on 2/27 and I am 3 days away from eating 100% solids- and today i messed up.. I had a bite of chicken that i made the the crock pot for my husband- it was already so soft- and i chewed it until it was liquid...then i had a 1/2 a crossiant AND i had a egg white cup (with spinach) :o My doc has put me on 100% liquids for 21 days and then i can go on 100% solids. I dont feel sick, and i didnt feel uncomfortable... i dont plan on straying from my liquids again until wednesday when my 21 days is up... do you think i did any damage???? I hate admitting this as i type but it makes me realize that what i did was wrong......any advice?

You didn t do anything that I ll bet we ve all done.And if it didn t get stuck and make you hurt-you are ok.

Quit feeling guilty.....lol we are human.

I was on normal food by weeks end.

Some docs say eat what you can tolerate, as did mine.

No worries. If you could diet, you wouldn't have gotten the band...and your doctor knows this.

Just take it slow when introducing foods to your band.

You are fine. I am really glad the food went down okay. That is a very good sign. Just stay on truck until day 21. You haven't slipped your band or anything as you don't have restriction yet. Good job getting back on track and being honest. I did the same thing early banding.

I ate some solid foods before the proper time period and I did just fine as well.

Just remember to always chew your few well are you will get uncomfortable in a hurry.

You are like me. Soda is my vice in life. Pepsi, at that. After surgery that's what I wanted. But nope while in the hospital. I finally had some Pepsi by day 4. And it foamed up. I did the ice thing...nope, still foamed. So I got Mt. Dew..... the rest is history.

I go thru about a 2 liter every week. Packed with ice and use a straw. Some days I just drink off the top...like an ounce or two. But some days I drink several glasses.

Koolaid brand Orange coolaid.... I started using this and it actually satisfies me just as much as Mt. Dew. I use a 1/2 and 1/2 Splenda/Sugar mix.

Those who drink soda...just know that you'll still lose weight with the band...but your weightloss will be a slower.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
