Conflicted and regrettful

Conflicted as always. Yes. I did not prepare myself for this surgery. I thought I could eat regular food after the surgery but the band would help me not eat as much. For the problem lies in the amount of food I eat, typically not the type. I have regret. I was not able to stick to any liquid diet. I was eating Turkey 10 days post op. I did not realize that my band could slip or pouch could expand by eating the foods I was eating. I mean I did know but didn’t put 2 and 2 tog

Over Eating

I over ate today. I just needed to admit it to someone. As soon as I woke up this morning, I knew I wanted to eat. I tried not to, but FOOD consumed my every thought today. "It" followed me like the plague...the thought of food... I pray tomorrow will be better.

Still Struggling

Still Struggling:crying: Well… I just seem not to be able to stick to this whole new eating agenda. My story- banded on 11-17 and suppose to be eating soups and mushy foods. Yesterday I was starving, I had mash potatoes and 2 hours later had some Mac and cheese. I can say I am only eating when I am hungry- which is a huge milestone for me. But I still have a major problem sticking to just shakes and soups. I am no succeeding. In fact I have only lost 5-6 pounds since the band. I am

Confused and Feeling Defeated.

Went to my surgeon yesterday for a check up. I am not suppose to be eating reg food-got banded Nov 17th,. I thought I could eat in moderation after 10 days. WRONG AGAIN. So far my journey with this band has sucked. I DON’T WANT TO EAT SOUP UNTIL JAN 4TH!! I AM STARVING! CAN ANYONE HEAR M?. I swear if I would have known that I would have to eat like this for 2 months I would never have spent the money. Simply put- If I could eat like this on my own and had the will power, I would not be 5-5 a

Not sure how to feel

Hey everyone,   Well on nov 17th I was banded... did the whole soup and mushy food thing. Now I am eating reg food . Of course not as much- i was banded with 2cc. I have a doc apt tomor. So I will ask for specific directions then. i have lost a total of 7 pounds. Is this normal? Am I suppose to be eating reg food or not? I feel guilty just looking at food. Any advice? I am so confused

I was doing ok. then came lunch

I hate you lunch! Been banded since the 17th and pretending (somewhat) I was not hungry. First day back at work.. all this temptation. I thought I was going to have soup, but went to the grocery store with a colleague . What did I bring back..-small order of homemade mac &cheese and 2 deviled eggs. I was so hungry and wanted food. And since it was "soft and muschy". Although I did not eat the entire order 4 sporks fulls and 1 egg... I still did not follow the rules. Now I feel burpie and

I Am Banded!

Nov 17th was the date that changed everything. I must admit that while I was waiting for the surgeon, I was having second thoughts. But ignored those feelings. I was happy to find out that he filled me with 2cc’s. I felt more confident. So the big question is……. ARE YOU HUNGARY?. Well, no I am not. I just miss the act of eating. My affair with food is over and it feels good. I equate me getting banding to going into rehab! This was my bottom and was so happy to have found this network. Alr

Nov 17th- here i come!

:biggrin::thumbup::thumbup:   We got the green light! Surgery is tomorrow at 9am. I thought we would have to pospone it since I was not losing weight-because I was no 100% on a liquid diet. I did lose 2 pounds last week:) I am ready to do this. Can anyone share with me what I will need in the next few weeks. I know I have to be on a liquid diet, but what do folks drink? Water, shakes etc! Thanks for all the support and feedback!

This CAnnot be a good sign

Greetings everyone,   Well, I was suppose to be on this "liquid" diet for the last 10 days and have not been. Went to the doc today and he told me if I donot lose 5 pounds by Monday I will have to pospone the surgery,:confused:. I thought since my BMI is only 35.5, I could get away with not dieting- WRONG! The doc straight out and told me I didnt appeared to be committed- and that I will have to be on liquids for the next 3 weeks after the surgery or I will fail. I am confused? can anyone giv

Getting Banded Nov17th and not sure if I am ready

Happy Friday Everyone. Just a little back ground information. I am 5'5 and 213 pounds. Decided to get the surgery last month- did my pre-opp a few days ago. I am self paid, so the surgery date is Nov 17th. BUT am I really ready? I am suppose to be on a liquid diet and just have no desire to do so..I mean I have been restricting my eating my entire life and I HATE IT. With that said. It makes me think that I am not committed. After the surgery I HAVE to restrict myself or I will get si
