drinking alcohol with the lapband.... :\

Try not to beat yourself up! I bet everyone reading your blog has had a similar experience! Keep focused & do your best & you will be fine!

Today is a new day. Live and learn. You can do this!!

Thanks for the positive encouragment! I have been doing much better today and getting back on track!! I am really interested to see what this fill will be like because so far there has been nothing that I have eaten that has not gone down...I still try to make the right food choices, I guess Im just a little suprised after knowing so many people that cant have breads, rice, or any type of carb without getting sick.

Don't feel quilty because of what you've done. I think you already paid for that ...getting sick and feeling sick. Just remember your body is trying to tell you to listen to it and behave....better next time. Like you I find I can pretty much eat almost anything...but since I got fat that way maybe that's NOT what I should be doing....so I try to use the tool I have been given the Lapband and lose weight and keep it off... Good luck.

We have all tested our bands from time to time and they do let us know what they will and will not tolerate. I have had two experiences with alcohol since banded a year ago and neither have ended well. I have no tolerance, if I drink I can't eat or I end up eating something while drinking that is not good for me. Now days I have an occassional glass of wine. I hate party's also, especially when people insist no there will be lots of things you can eat. New rule for me, eat before I go to a party, carry a protein bar. You may have gained the pounds from the dehydration from alcohol and should drop them quickly.

Thank you ladies. Yes I am back at 270 now so Im a little happier with that. My fill is Tuesday and I cannot wait! lol. Never thought I would say that....lol
