1 mth post op

It has been 4.5 weeks since my lapband surgery. I am in the end part of my week 2 of soft foods. I have lost a total of 25lbs since surgery. The last two days have been a struggle for me as I began to crave various foods. I have been driving 2 1/2 hours to my appts. and spending most of my day in the car and in the dr. offices. I'm exhausted. I gave in tonight and ate 1/4c of raviolis. They weren't that good and after I ate them I felt fine. So I began to stress if my lapband is even working. Any advice as to how to deal with days like today?:thumbup:

The advice I have is pre op. I am banded today. My goal is to eat "normal" foods in smaller amounts and not get cravings. Food is not good or bad. Choices are. Choosing the lap band is your tool to eat "less" thus eating less food. It doesn't change your mind. You are the only one that can change your focus! Enjoy! 1/4 cup of ravioli is not out of control. Blessings and I will keep you in my prayers! Congrats on the weight loss!
