today makes 1 week since i was banded. tonight i cheated and ate a bit of protein in my soup. i now feel nauseas and concerned that i messed something up. how are other people doing after your first week? are you still in pain? i am a bit around my stitches. i go back to work tomorrow and surprisingly i am excited because it will hopefully get food off my mind. wieght down is 10 pds..

There's a reason to forgo the "food".....depending on which band etc it is sutured into place and the churning action of your stomach as you digest food (you can't feel it but it physically churns to aid in digestion) can rip your stitches loose. Please tell your doc tomorrow about what you ate, and your nausea afterward, so he can decide if it's ok or if you need some testing to make sure you're ok. Probably you'll be fine but he needs to know about it! It's tough, but hang in there!
