Okay, I am going to be completely honest with you guys. I need help, bad. I got banded on last Thursday 12/11/08, today will be my one week. I followed the diet given by my Dr., in the beginning :huh2:, and two days ago, I was starving and had an emoitional break down and havent stopped since. On Tuesday, I started out with eating soup, campbells brocoli cheese soup, probably half a cup, then Yesterday, it was like I went all out and had shrimp, and even a few bites of my kids chicken nuggets. Had shrimp again today, and alot. I didnt vomitt or have any problems, I do feel a tiny bit full, but not really when I eat. I feel so ashamed, I know I messed up big time, and I went off of my dr. diet to follow, I was supposed to do clear liquids first week, then second week, thicker liquids, then 3rd soft foods, then solids. So I went way off track, and I dont want to be like this any more, I need help, support, something. I feel hungry all the time for some reason, and I am scared I might have slipped my band. Could have I????????????? Should I just go back to liquids again for about a week or so??????

You still need to talk to your doctor. You may not have slipped NOW, but from what I understand the movements your stomach makes when digesting food can make the healing process less effective, resulting in a weak bind. Because of this weakness, you are much more likely to slip later. I may have not gotten the band yet, but I've been reading constantly for the past 6 months and this seems to be the more realistic part of the problem. You may also want to seek counseling to help you deal with your emotions now that you can't use food. Hope it all works out for you.

Don't worry about it, I did the same thing only I was soooo hungry I ate mayoniasse by the spoonfuls it was

awful, you'll be alright once you start getting your fills.

Good Luck! Annie May
