I am an emotional eater as well. I wish I could tell you the band fixed everything, but I can't. For me it has made things just more complex. I have been banded for 9 years now and have very little control. For me the band is tight one day and not so much the next. I wouldn't freak out (not that you are) over a pound. That said, don't be complacent either. Find some accountability to help you with this deal. We have one on this site under the maintenance section. Feel free to drop in and check out.

Today went pretty good. I was on target all day. I had a bigger dinner than I should have. My bride made my favorite sweet treat for desert. I had a portion. Need to hit the e-kill. Off work tomorrow!!! Heading to pumpkin patch and watching the combines with the boys!

Just checking in. I am on break in Tipp city OH. I packed up a bunch if easy to eat protein items. Have only had a couple sausage patties. That is the only hunger I have had today. Trying to get back to the basics(not that there is any other CORRECT way). Eating only when hungry and eating slow. Walking while unloading today. Hope all y'all are rockin it!

@@punkinvine Praying for you and your family.

I finished the day pretty much on track. Had liquids all day and then had dinner with the family. Had a pot pie and mashed taters. I hit the e kill for 10 minutes...(start back slow)... I have meals prepared for tomorrow. Mushies and protein!! glad we are getting back to it!

@@s_suther I keep threatening to do liquids one day a week to keep irrigation down, but the flesh is weak. Low 40s in the Ohio valley by weeks end. Raining here in Cincinnati waiting to load. Plans to do 10 min e kill when I get to the house.

@@s_suther hot liquids have been the key for a long time now. Usually tomato juice warmed up. It is Apple cider season! It just seems so inconsistent. Anyone else super tight one day and then not so much the next??

Lots of fluids today. Already got 12 oz of o j and my pills down. I think I need a break from food. Lol

I had a bad day. I have not been able to get any fluids through. It has been getting real bad the last 2 months and I gained a ton of weight. Please pray for me. Pray for guidance.. Night yall

Feels like a bazillion years since I've been on. Hope all is well. I need to get this deal kicked in again.

I thought it might be fun to start a thread off topic a bit. After all we do thing of other think than our WLS. We did this in a different forum and it gets pretty humorous at times! So feel free to post a question or random thought, or just add to or answer someone else's question or random thought.

On plan today so far..

Sorry friends for the confusion. @@s_suther Apparently I was the only male to like a ladys FIRST AND ONLY POST. It was in a different thread. Because of my actions and maleness, I was looked at as some sort of "homewrecker" Someone needs another psych evaluation cause that is some insane crap.. again my apologies for the confusion..

It has been brought to my attention that I have made some users and their monitoring family members "uncomfortable." I never intended to make anyone feel this way. I don't think I have been active enough in rhe recent weeks to even say that I have carried on a conversation with any users. Nevertheless I will no longer post in this thread. I will continue on the site, just not here. I am totally committed to my Wife and would NEVER do anything to try to harm my relationship with her and would not want to harm any relationship any user has with there partner. Keep killing it yall!

Op yesterday. No binge. Same basic plan today only I think I will see if the wife and kids will take a walk this evening.

The unfill did wonders for me. I can get some Protein instead of crap slider foods. I do have quite a bit of stomach pain..??..?? Anyone ever heard of the band irritating stomCh after an un fill? I am trying to process the fact that I will probably have the band removed at some point. The doc said that people are starting to have real problems after years as I am. His asst. Told me they dont hardly do bands anymore. The doc also said yhat sleeve after band has little effect so they have been revising with rny.. scary to me..

@@JustWatchMe you are welcome.... I think...

Back to work today. I packed a few small meals. I plan on eating every 3 hrs a small meal. I packed sausage nuts and pb crackers. I passed on the little debbie sweet treat this morning. Never looked to see, but those dudes have 410 calories in one pack. I usually ate 2. Any way i'm calling it a small victory.

The doc went well. I had had him take some fluid out. I lost 12 pounds but ate crap the whole 6 weeks since I could not get meats down. Keep rockin..

Hey friends! I know it has been a bit. I was involved in a rollover accident and have been buggered up a bit. It was in my car and not the tanker. I habe been a bit bummed out but am very thankful for God's mercy. I am not moving round very well, but I decided to keep the doctor's appt with the lap band doc today. I am sitting in the waiting room right now and thought I would check in. Guess this would be as good of a time as any to get plugged back in to the group.

I have been off the road most of the week. Been busy getting things ready for making hay. Replaced knives in cut conditioner. Baler had a bearing give up the ghost late last year. Had all winter to replace it, and we wait til now.. this is how we roll.. pun intended. I am going to get back on exercise and eating plan.

Rough weekend. Todays plan.. liquids all day. I am going to try to eat a beef stick for lunch.. I need to get some exercise today..

Had a great day off yesterday. Love hangin with my family. My 4 year old rode his 4 wheeler all day. Over 2 gallons of gas burned in A small kids quad. I think he enjoys it... I brought 2 bowls of chili and drinks in the truck today. No binge is the goal again.

All In. Will not binge. Good small dinner..

I'm calling today a success. I did not get much through but I did not force it either. No binge. I got stuck at dinner and had to quit. The Pete made smoke tonight, so it is going bye bye in the morning. So now things will start to settle down... ya right. I did get a small bowl of sherbert, and it is going well. ya'll have a goodun'!!
