  1. Hi Everyone I was banded in early June with a 14cc band I was put on a 4 week liquid diet I have had no restriction (since surgery) at all. I can drink the protein shakes/ broth/ soups etc with nothing filling me up. I did really good until last week when I caved in on a drive home and could not resist my craving for Micky D's I ate 2 Big Mac sandwichs, as I ate I cried and said NEVER AGAIN.They both went down fine and I had no problems with eating them at all which scares me terriblly. I went right back to my liquid diet and have stayed there with no problems and no cravings. I hate that I caved into one of my cravings I hate that I cheated on my post-op diet the way I did. I also hate that both sandwiches went down so easily nothing getting stuck not being full afterwards etc. I go for my first fill in about 3 weeks and will be a saint till then. But could something be wrong with my band that I was able to eat that much and still feel hungry? Like I've said I've stuck to my liquid diet to a tee until this episode, have lost almost 15lb. I just f eel so guilty i couldn't control myself but knowing how I felt afterwards gives me a greater (i hope) willpower to never fall off the band wagon again.
  2. Hi Everyone I was banded in early June with a 14cc band I was put on a 4 week liquid diet I have had no restriction (since surgery) at all. Week 3 will be thursday. I can drink the protein shakes/ broth/ soups etc with nothing filling me up. But I've stuck to the liquid stage of the diet. I did really good until last week when I caved in on a drive home and could not resist my craving for Micky D's I ate 2 Big Mac sandwichs, as I ate I cried and said NEVER AGAIN. (A Big Mac was on my list of food i wanted to eat pre band but never got around to it.) It wasin my head and woudn't go away.... They both went down fine and I had no problems with eating them at all which scares me terriblly. I didn't get sick didn't throw up I felt regular..... I went right back to my liquid diet and have stayed there with no problems and no cravings at all. I hate that I caved into one of my cravings I hate that I cheated on my post-op diet the way I did. I also hate that both sandwiches went down so easily nothing getting stuck not being full afterwards etc. I go for my first fill in about 3 weeks and will be a saint till then. But could something be wrong with my band that I was able to eat that much and still feel not really full? Like I've said I've stuck to my liquid diet to a tee until this episode, have lost almost 15lb. I just feel so guilty i couldn't control myself but knowing how I felt afterwards gives me a greater (i hope) willpower to never fall off the band wagon again. (I cried most of the night thinking I might of ruined my band) I'm now a bandster for life I'm just scared of the no restriction I have at all....could my band be so big I have no pouch? I'm praying and hoping my fills give me greater restriction so that when i do eat (and it won't be fast food) I'll have that full feeling. So I'm beating myself up I did the lap band with the best intentions and still believe i can do this after how I felt eating those hamburgers. I'm just scared my band will not work since I was able to eat such a large amount of food could it be b/c the band is not filled yet? Pleaee don't yell at me for what i did I know what i did was wrong and a HUGE NO NO it will never happen again. Just needed to get this off my chest I've felt so guilty since then. Even though I went right back to my pre-op diet.
  3. I see a therapist once a month and will def talk it over with her. I know I still have head hunger (it's getting much better) and i think I ate those Big macs b/c they were on my lists of foods to eat before i got banded then never eat again and never had a chance to eat then beforee banding and just craved them ike crazy-weird huh. Like I said I have been so good the pass few weeks Thursday will be week 3 on my liquid diet (do during week 2 of my liquid phase is when i crashed) then one more week and I move to regular foods aka week 4. I'm just nervous because everything went down so smoothly is that normal because i am not filled yet. I must not have a pouch b/c then nothing would of went down right? I heard of people just getting banded and the first two weeks could ONLY eat the 4ozs and then they were full~ were they pre=filled maybe? I want NOTHIG to get between me and my band again I am going to do the 15 min rule (but have had no such cravings since the episode for anything) What I'm asking the regulars is it normal for me to eat so much without a problem? Could something be wrong with my band (too big?) I have been following my nut diet plan as I have been all along and I feel great I just hate that I had that one moment of weekness...it struly sucked!!!!
