Today at work I ate half a grilled cheese sandwhich and some tom soup. It made me miserable and I had to vomit. Now I am worried about vomitting, could one time hurt the band or does it take more provuse vomitting to cause slippage? I am14days post op, I know I should not have ate that but I did and Iam paying for it now. Will I ever get this down and get over eating ^comfort^ foods. I know it is a lifestyle change and I walk anywhere from 2-3 miles a day and I had been sticking to my diet but failed big time day!!!

where do I start.

The by the book approach is the most is the ultra cautious most conserative approach. If you can do it an not be miserable, great, if you can't great to. On day 7 my mushy day I ate nachos, just chewed the shit out of them. I bet I've puked 100 times with my band now, not that big a deal. You will find out that you puke alot at first, and then as time goes on, puke less and less. I haven't got stuck and puked in probably two weeks. I still get stuck from time, but can generally get it down.

Oh, and by the was don't listen to restlessmonkey, she is a band nazi.

threw up at least 100 times?

that aint right.

p0wnd--calling someone fat on the fat board!

I would never want to encourage someone to do something that eventually caused pain or damage,

Then stop posting your stupid crap.

nazi:smile2:

I'm sure you won't be on here long lndshark, so I'm responding quick. First of all..... I can't even tell if you are a joke or not. Coming on here and calling people names is real mature. Have you nothing better to do? Restless Monkey is a nurse and she is a good friend of mine. She has helped me, and many others out, when we needed answers and advice. I don't believe you are for real, I don't believe your ticker, and I don't believe you need to come here and insult people. I'm sure the powers that be will have you 86'd by the time the sun sets. Happy trails. Becky

i'm guessing this thread will soon be moderated~

anyway to the OP - hit the complications forum.

VERY rarely does anyone who ate early out or advanced their post op diet have issues right off the bat. you never know what could happen during the healing stage, that will show up months, yrs later. it's hard to say , so to be on the safe side.....follow your post op diet as best as possible.

i myself advanced but only by 2 days and after an appt w/my surgeon & his OK.

indshark - i myself was a pretty devoted the moment i woke up from surgery & barely lost 30lbs 6 months out. i think your being pretty hard on others - but that would just be my opinion, like everyone else here gets to have.

Maybe so, but come on, I don't like the blowhards that yammer all the time and don't "walk the walk" Sorry for all the cliches.

I guess the old saying is true, "thoes who can't do teach."

Wow...and you even found a way to put down teachers...very sad.

Personal attacks and insulting other members is against the rules. Let's hope this thread gets back on track.

WHAT?!?!?!?!? Are you kidding me? How do you know she didn't damage something with this episode? Are you doctors? She did great by calling her surgeon's office and speaking to a PROFESSIONAL to make sure everything is okay! By making the mistakes that both of you did, how do you know you didn't cause just a little damage and won't have a slip several months/years down the road? You don't!

It is not safe for any one to say "oh, no big deal! I did it and I'm fine!" Hello! You don't know that you really are fine. I certainly hope nothing ever happens to your bands. That would be horrible, BUT there are rules, made by the PROFESSIONALS, for a reason. And no, I didn't cheat. I followed my doctors orders b/c I didn't go through all of this to mess it up. Surgery is a major thing.

And BTW Indshark, RM does happen to know what she's talking about and is a successful bandster to this point. And whether you agree with her or not, please don't call people names!

Excessive vomiting is thought to be the main cause of band slippage, but I see that person's account was suspended and probably wouldn't care to hear it anyway!

Folks, no need to continue reporting the same posts in this thread. Elisabethsew has handled the situation. As long as you remain on track from here on out, everything should be fine.

lmao at mouth orgasm. Thanks for telling me the banana pudding story!!

No problem... and seriously good luck with everything!

I too have had many,many bouts of vomiting, due to to big of bites and my doc said these new bands are less likely to slip..

Some people don't read backwards!
