food ? Banded 4/17

[bamurf80 0]

I have a question. I was bad on Sunday. I had a couple small and I mean small bites of scrambled eggs yesterday and 4 Doritos. Is that going to hurt anything?

maybe, no one here can tell you otherwise.

you are just a few days post op - i strongly suggest you follow YOUR doctor's post op diet.

the post op is not designed to make you miserable, it is to ensure your sutures heal properly and anchors your band in place.

Your post op diet is to help you heal and is not about weight loss. It is important to follow your doc's orders. I doubt you hurt anything but if you keep it up you could.

Good luck!

It may or may not have hurt anything, the purpose of the liquid diet, is so your stomach is not moving. When you eat anything (and I mean.. ANY small size of egg) your stomach pulses, think of like a heart beating. It squishes and contracts. So every teeny tiny piece of SUBSTANCE.. doritoes, eggs.. that you put in, your stomach is working. You have new stitches holding your band in place. If your stomach moves, it can rip said stitches and misplace your band.

So, it would be in your best interest, to tough it out and not 'cheat'.

Doritos !!!???? That was very brave (is that the right word?). I wasn't game to deviate from the liquid diet one bit. Please be careful my dear, we do need to take care of our Investment
