Day Six And Still Standing

By Fivey

· 541 views

Hi All,

 

Today I joined Lap Band Talk to save myself. My surgery was 11/14/11.

 

Can you imagine? I get paid for advice and empathy and yet I'm here feeling so unsure.

I went shopping for the holiday this morning after going to the gym with my husband. I ran 1 1/2 miles and I felt so good. During our shopping spree I came up with every excuse to purchase corn chips for my "dog". Perhaps I am not adjusting mentally to this liquid phase. So why did I have to try six chips and now I am waiting for the consequences to come on? I feel sad, concerned and unsure of why I acted in such a self-defeating manner. Perhaps I was seeking to join a group just like this : )

 

Something tells me that this self-discovery process is going to be rocky (not rockly road ice cream). I'm down 14lb during the last three weeks. I gotta stay focused. I want to loose another 10lbs befor X-Mas.

    its done a behind you .. .tomorrow is another day... I told my husband today that I hated him for making popcorn while watching the football game....I tried grits (which I love) for the 1st time since surgery... they are on the approved "full liquid" dite from my surgeon... It helped !!! the butter and salt helped the cravings...

    Welcome to the forum...it's a great place to get the support you need. Don't worry about it...I slipped several times on the liquid phase and I survived...you can do this and congrats on the weight loss.

    I ate corn chips on day 3 post surgery, I had to do it, I really needed to chew something LOL! I ate very few, probably 5 or 6, and trust me, there were no bad consequences! You'll be alright! Promise! I didn't feel a bit guilty about doing that for the record.. I knew that 6 chips weren't going to do any damage. However, had I eaten the whole bag, and did it again the next day I'd have worried! No harm, no foul.. tomorrow's a new day! :) Hang in there!

    Fivey! First of all, I'm happy that I found someone who had the surgery the same day as I did. Seriously. I've lost 15 pounds since I had the surgery. I've been very strict with my diet...I guess just scared that something may get stuck or something. But, it seems a lot of people cheat on their diet just a little bit. Thanksgiving is coming up! What are your plans? How lond will you have to be on a full liquid diet? I myself have to be on the diet for 3 weeks. :/
