hi.... was hoping for some feedback on what just happened. i am 3 wks post op - just went for followup today and down 19lbs, all looks great, and getting first fill in less than 3 wks. followed the liquid diet to near perfection, and have really been motivated and felt good. no issues, other than some occasional cravings and some gassiness if i drink or eat too quickly. now, after all that positive stuff, i've screwed up and just ate way too much. i was running late today and only had 1 Protein shake prior to leaving, and nothing else all day. bad idea, i know. just was busy and didn't plan well. got home from grocery shopping and proceeded to eat over a cup of mashed potatoes, 4 oz lf cottage cheese, a small sleeve (!) of crackers with some hummus, and 4 mini bags of miniature M & M's. what the hell?! i know better! but i let myself get too hungry and just blew it!! i completely bypassed mushies and plunged ahead into junk food all in like 20 minutes! and to top it off, i've truly never been a "binge" eater! feel way too full and very, very guilty. it's been over an hour and i haven't exploded or vomited, but i certainly don't want to compromise my lap band site and the healing process. dr just said today that its normal for many to not feel restricted at all yet, even though from the postings i've seen on here - that's not the case with everyone! this is just the healing phase postop before the first fill. ~sigh~ i would love to hear from others who may have "messed up" too. any repercussions? back on track!
