thanks everyone

i had a clean" day yesterday so feeling returning to be on track. I do not feel sad so much as panicked that returning to old ways is as easy as putting hand to mouth. it feels like such an illness. ok. back on track, back to high hopes and strong will. thanks my friends!

ps: the advent chocolate was really BAD anyway!!! :-)

I was banded on October 17th and have been doing well. no fill yet and little interest in food. Then came my own personal tsunami. I ate chocolate I had to give to my sister, then Cookies, then sugar...sugar...sugar, I even stole chocolate out of my kids advent calendar.(pathetic I know!) I realise this is referred to bander hell but it came out of NOWHERE. I feel like I have lost all the control I had. One taste of chocolate and I am in BIG TROUBLE. My next doctors appointment is Jan 10th (hopefully i will get a fill) What do I do in the meantime? I feel like the gates are open and the dragon's unleashed. feeling sooo powerless....

I was on pureed for my Canadian thanksgiving. I made myself turkey soup! it was a great compromise!

Hi

I was banded three days ago and seem to have constant pressure in the middle of my chest where my band is. It reminds me a lot of heartburn. I'm not nauseous and on a full Fluid diet. everything seems ok except for this pain in my chest. normal?

october 17th for me. so october bandsters what do we do now? how are we feeling? what can we do now while we're waiting to make adjustment to the band easier?

for me pre-op diet starts next week and I am dreading it-although it will mean the process has begun so that's exciting!!

i am new too and getting banded oct 17th help!
