Stayed home from work today. Slept most of the day. Yesterday was horrific! My husband's family always gets together on Sundays after church for dinner. We have the usual southern dinner--fried chicken, creamed potatoes, gravy, mac and cheese, deer ribs, etc. Well, I ate like a horse!!! I was so mad at myself. I came home and put ankle weights on and walked till my ankles hurt! I got really down. I can't understand what's in my pysche that I just have to eat, eat, eat! I wasn't that hungry. It just tasted good. I escape the world by sleeping so that's what I did today. I haven't done too bad today. Hope you are doing better than I am! Stay strong!

No, WE did not make a mistake! We are going to do this! Well, the 5 day pouch test lasted until tonight! I was really hungry so I had a sandwich. I still stayed within my calorie range so maybe the scales will be kind in the morning. Can't wait till the next fill. I'm ready to eat a little bit and be full. Past my bedtime so I'd better go. Got work tomorrow. Hope you have a great day tomorrow. write soon.

Hello, I'm still trying to figure out things on this website. I love reading about other folk's successes. I was banded on 11/19/08. Started out at 226 and I'm down to 202. I had reached 198, but the holidays hit! I have been easier on myself since I've read of other's battles. I started the 5-day pouch test today, so maybe I can lose the extra weight. I've had 1 fill and another scheduled for 1/22. I guess the thing that has surprised me the most is the emotional roller coaster this surgery has caused. One day I'm on top of the world and the next I'm wondering why in the heck I did this! But I look in the mirror or put on a sweater I haven't been able to wear in years and it's all worthwhile. Thanks for asking me to be a friend. I'd love to have someone to talk to. I have 4 friends in my church who have had lap band also. We actually have enough to have our own support meetings! Better go. Got a few chores to do before bedtime.:thumbup:
