thank you for your condolences and for the encouragement. Had I not gotten my lap band when I did I probably would have downed a couple pounds of candy, cookies and chips over this grief process. Going to the doctor Monday and should be put on "regular" diet now. Thanks again. I am glad I found this site to share experiences. God Bless you all on your journey to be healthier!

I got my band on 6/11/12, and my father died unexpectedly 6/14/12. I stuck to diet well even with the added stress, but on the day of his funeral, I just feel like I went crazy. I was supposed to stay with the pureed foods all this week, but the evening of the funeral. I ate twizzlers (chewed up very well) and chocolate. I am concerned that I have caused damage, but I feel ok besides some bloating and gas after my big cheat. I thought I would try back on protein shakes today to get me back on track and to stop the sugar craving. Any advice?
