Hey all! I was also banded in TJ on July 18 and was to start solid foods 8/7. I gave in to the tempations 2 days early and have felt terrible every since. I am so paranoid that I have eaten too much and stretched my stomach or eaten too much and caused it to slip. I have had no pain or soreness for over a week now but get a "prick" every now and then when I'm doing too much. Haven't experienced Pbing yet but have gotten food stuck a couple of times. I was so hungry my first solid meal that I can't even remember chewing! I really think I just swallowed it whole! My husband and parents keep reminding me of all the sacrifices made to get this far and blah blah blah. But they say it as they are cramming down pizza, french fries, steak, or beer! It's tough when you're married to the Bud guy!
Anyhow, I am waiting impatiently for my first fill and am scared I have over eaten and the band will have to be adjusted, which will cost more money than what I have. Haven't had much luck finding a reputable fill doctor in Columbia, SC either that will see me b/c I had the procedure done in TJ.
Good news, though, I have lost 13# since pre-op/op!
Help! I'm really bummed and need some reassurance that I haven't blown it all before the first fill!!
