Have had a GI virus the past two days - I did vomit quite a bit yesterday and am worried that I may have damaged my band. I have been able to drink and was able to have half a slice of toast.

Congrats on reaching your goal! I'm at 7 with a goal of 8 - 10. I need to get out and exercise and avoid the oh so tempting holiday food. I am committing to working out 3 times this week...I usually am busy w/my kiddies but I am going to do serious workouts. Hopefully that will help!

I have eaten so bad the last two days that I was too embarrassed to post. Lets just say there was a lot of cookie batter, Cookies and Peanut Butter fudge bars. I realize that I cannot have things like that in the house because I will eat them...and they go right through the band. I packed everything that I made and gave it away...it took me two days to do it...which means two days of crappy eating. Today I woke up and made a commitment to eat properly. B - Pure Protein shake S - coffee w/splash of milk L - 1/2 cup of pintos, grilled zucchini and salsa S - 60 calorie pudding and 1 tsp of peanut butter D - Pintos, grilled zucchini and corn, shredded beef ate about 1/2 cup total S - 60 calorie pudding, 1 tsp peanut butter

I have only been banded for a couple of months and have had wine or cocktails a few times. When having wine, I will drink slowly prior to dinner and a few sips during dinner. As for cocktails, I have had them once and it went with no food. I didn't notice a change as far as how fast it hits me...but I am more cautious since I consume substantially less food.

B - Fiber One Chewy Bar (really need to go to TJ's and buy protein shakes) L - 1/3 cheese enchilada, a few bites of tostada and avocado D - Went to holiday party: a couple of meatballs, some nuts, a little red wine and m&m's (hit the kids table for those!) S - Came home and for some unknown reason felt it necessary to eat chocolate chip cookie dough... :confused_smile:
