So I had half an eggroll and about 3 medium bites of chinese noodles. It all went down ok. No pain. But now I am scared of what I could have done to my body since my surgery was only a week ago.

Has anyone else done this? And if so how did you handle it later? Or am I the only weak one here?

You're the only weak one here! NOT!!! hehe :) Relax...I'm sure you didn't damage your band, but do try to stick with the post-op plan. I know it's hard...down right tortureous! I, and many others, didn't stick to the post op plan 100%, but I did my best and didn't do any damage. However, I did discuss my slips with my surgeon and told him I was concerned about damage. He giggled at me and said "It'll take a lot more than that to cause a slip...just DON'T challange the pouch!"

Hang in there...better days are ahead. This is a BIG adjustment...give yourself time to adjust :)
