HELP, scared, disappointed, plain just freaking out!
Sorry, but it does not look like you read enough, if you did not know that for a few weeks or months you may not get the full feeling...
As others said, you are really adding for trouble...

You asked for advice a few days ago but obviously did not listen.
First thing tomorrow find a therapist. Worst case scenario as other have stated is death. A top second is that you will never get anywhere near your goal weight and this will all be for naught.

So, you were hungry, and threw your doctor's plan out the window. Why didn't you call your doctor's office and make an appointment to see him. Why did you bother going through the pre-op process if you were not committed to following your doctor's instructions? Your surgery worked - you said yourself you saw how it worked through the swallow test and "it looked just right". So you ate dense foods......were potatoes on the list of dense foods to eat?
Hopefully, you have not done physical damage. Follow your doctor's plan. You say you have a lot of weight to lose -- you are NOT going to lose it if you don't follow instructions. Call him - swallow your pride and get the help you need. WLS is not "the easy way out" .....there are rules to be followed
Enough said.
I didn't throw out the whole plan. I screwed up and was looking for support. I live in a state with one surgeon and one weight loss center. I had to travel to go to my program and to my surgery. It's not as simple for me to call and go see him. I know No others that have ever gone through this surgery. I will call him tomorrow and hope to talk to someone. I was not told that my staples could tear open. I was told it was secure and that it's rare. I was told I'd get sick and throw up. I get it.
Enough said
This is third time that I have read this post. I think that people are reacting to your story out of real concern.....their best advice is my best advice.....go see your doctor, follow the plan and stop tempting fate....for your own well being and future. These posts are meant to be supportive and words are all we have...you must rely on the true experts in the medical field. Wishing you success.

Support is NOT "oh you'll be fine, don't worry about it."
Support IS saying that you're putting yourself at serious risk and need to get your act together, lest you fail or worse.

You know, I did come down kind of harsh on you, and I'm sorry. We all make mistakes.... it's just that I would hate to see you fail at something you obviously worked hard for. Please - follow your doctor's plan. As others have said, nerves were cut and you will feel hunger. Once you get to the "real food" stage and you are eating dense proteins, things should get better. A lot of times we feel "head hunger". Don't overeat your pouch - it can be very dangerous.
It takes real commitment - I hope you get in touch with your doctor and/or take whatever steps are necessary to deal with any issues you are having.
