From the time I woke up this morning I have been starving like I just left a concentratiion camp. My band is laughing at me telling me to go buy a bag of reeces Peanut Butter cups because it wil fill you up completely and your hunger will go away. Ah ha ha. Well it feels like it was saying that. But any way I didnt over eat today even though Im starving and I am not buying any Halloween candy either. So to my band I say you can be open as wide as you want today I will not buy any candy to let the last laugh be on you! Happy Halloweenie peeps.

Then you should be fine. But after the surgery and you lose weight just know your flood gates will open again ah ha ha

We all know from here on out the holidays are fast approaching starting with the evil candy day of Halloween but I want to reflect what I have learned about the holidays. It's not about food anymore but spending quality time with the ones you love and cherish forever in your heart. It's about loving yourself and loving others and respecting your body now that you have a band or are getting banded. It's not a time to feel down because you're not eating a whole turkey dinner by your self and hoarding left over pie so no one else will get some. It's about not regaining what you have worked so hard to lose. It's not impossible to get through without gaining but losing. It's time to rethink your strategies of how you will cope now until the first of the year with your band. Don't let old habits come in to your mind. There will be a lot of temptation at work, home, friends homes, but saying no is not punishable by law. Saying no will not hurt you. Saying no will help you. Learning that the word no thank you can be the best words you will ever say in your life. To all of us having the will to survive and living through the holidays with the best attitudes that I will not let food defeat me this year or ever again. You can enjoy the holidays without dwelling on food.

Didn't you buy food before the storm? I'm just asking. Why can't you find anything to eat even if it is fast food they do have lower calorie options.

Well I can tell you that you shouldnt be eating bread right now. Its not considered a mushy. We all feel lousy when we don't lose. Stop weighing yourself everyday. Weight loss is going to stall. It's inevitable. It will happen even to the best dieter. Mushies should be Protein not starchy carbs. I know a lot of people eat mashed potatoes on mushies but I don't push that. It's not a point of stopping when you feel full its a point of stopping when you feel satisfied. You have to look at that in a different way now. For now give up the carbs and concentrate on protein. If you have to eat carbs then try Quaker weight control oatmeal. Its sugar free and has 7 grams of protein. Eat eggs and I wouldnt eat salads (chicken and tuna) even with reduced fat mayo. You are trying to get your body in ketosis which is the only way you are going to burn fat. Dannon light and fit greek yogurt has no fat and 14 grams of protein. You have to decide do you want bread or do you want to burn. I personally want to burn my fat not hold on to it.

Oh and my spelling was incorrect lol for those who have issues with spelling lmao

You have to understand that when you fall back to your old ways that you will gain weight. We all LOVE food. We all are addicts. You have to grab this by the horns and never look back. I keep a picture of me at all times that I can relate to if I am having a moment. When I was at my highest weight. It keeps me from ever wanting sweets or junk food. I don't eat it, don't want it. I can not trust myself to have one piece of candy or I will eat it all. I am not giving out Halloween candy just for that reason. Why torture myself over that. I will go to the mall while its going on. I know that sugar is my down fall and can never it it again. People think I deprive myself but for me it's not depriving its what I have to do to keep it under control. I could very well eat what every I want but I don't because I personally know myself and do not want to go back to my evil ways. You have to want this and want it bad. Pick yourself off, dust yourself off and get back on the wagon.

Your port can hurt for a few months. That is normal. When you bend it has four corners sort of and sometimes it sticks in to you. I still sometimes feel it when I bend over. The reason why this part hurts so much is they sew it in to the muscle that was cut during surgery. It will hurt longer then any other incision.

First of all for you being 53 years old, who are you to demand answers from anyone and I really don't care who you are. It's apparent that you are very angry and cursing at me or anyone else in this forum is wrong. Who said I am not at goal. I am 179 and my doctor and surgeon and myself are very happy with the weight I am now. Why because my ticker says I am still 19lbs away from goal? It's a ticker my dear and that is it. Yes I have been successful. I am at goal. If I lose more then fine if I dont that is fine too. Both surgeons that I have had both said over eating does cause band erosion when its tight and you push food in the pouch and it makes the stomach force its self in to the band. WE, I do not owe you anything or any answers but We/I do not need to be cursed at by an angry person who had their band removed. Find a band failure thread and join it. Oh and by the way you should really seek anger management because if you act this way to people you don't know, I can only imagine how you treat people you do know.

You need to walk around no matter how much it hurts. It your doctor is telling you this is normal then you have to get moving. Yes you can take gas x and if you just had surgery don't worry about going to the bathroom you havent eaten anything. I just think you have no tolerance for pain and that it will get better. You're only 2 days post op. But you have to get moving pain or not.

and it says about three small meals it doesnt say you must.
