SORRY.....two week mark and I can tell a big difference in my energy level It is weird that although not much weight has come off my attitude in regards to losing has taken a huge turnabout!! I am very excited for you and hope you continue!! BTW I was born and raised in South Suburbs!! I am hating that I am missing the Taste BUT that can also be a good thing!!!

you poor darling!!! I have to admit I have noticed a change in a Couple of friends that I was very close to since I started the journey.... I had surgery 3 days ago, None the less I had to come to terms that Misery loves company and I can not afford to stay in the pity party My health means more to me than the feelings of a few nay sayers what I can say is I think all parties yours and mine will come around!!! Keep your head up!!

I agree that makes you human!! I am looking forward TO THE DAY I can have some sushi and sake as a cheat!!! Enjoy your family and don't beat yourself up!

Aw that doesn't make you bad, it makes you human! You got lots of steps in too! Have fun with your grandchildren!

no food is bad
so what if you had 2 biscuits or 14
you dont eat like that all the time and every
so often is A-OK
dont beat yourself up
one meal wont make you gain 25 pounds
FYI, tonight is my one splurge meal and i am looking forward to it
and will relish each delicious bite and not waste one moment
in yeah its bad and yeah its not good for me..so what..
all the best eye candy

First of aII I I love this thread because 1. You Ladies are absolutely and delightfully honest and 2. I am on the tail end of my pre-op diet and my daughter said Mom are you wanting some chocolate and I said NOOOOO I am wanting some Red Wine right now LOL forget the food forget the sweets forget everything that requires actual chewing I want wine! I don't want to even imagine that my tolerance for my Mommy medicine will diminish! With that being said You ladies rock and I think that all will balance it self out! Seize the day enjoy your wine!!!

i had a glass also
my bff amanda said its ok and to relax and enjoy it
and i did...heck i may even have another tonight

Don't be too hard on yourself. The key here is, that you're right back on track today. This is how it's going to be through the rest of your life; allowing yourself a little something off plan on occasion, but then hopping right back on track.
I was banded on 3/25/13, and decided that the Memorial Day BBQ I went to, would be the day I allowed myself some wine. I hadn't had anything to drink three months prior, and thought one glass would be all I could tolerate. Not! I think that I drank damn near an entire bottle! I tolerated it fine, but didn't feel very well for a couple of days. Not sick; just off a shade or two. I'd like to say "lesson learned", but I'm sure I'll have a day like that again. Felt NO pain & had a great time!!
