I got so tired of exersicing and the scale not moving so I ate everything yesterday and drank my first diet coke. I started off good having two eggs for Breakfast but then for lunch made homemade pizza. I had alot of it then made chezzy hashbrown cassrole for supper and had a whole plate of that. This morning for breakfast had half plate of the cassrole and one hotdog. I have decided to get over it and do better before I gain. I just needed to let it out that I screwed up. It just makes me made that I have done great and no weight loss. I have not ate that much since before the surgery.

When did you have your surgery? I can't imagine how you managed to eat that many carbs without getting sick! Didn't the diet coke give you problems? Is your band too loose?

I had my surgery on nov 23 and have 3cc in my bad. I had done great with my calories and exersice until last night. I don't even like coke, but for some reason I wanted one yesterday. I didn't drink it all at once a little hear and there but finished it within two hours. The pizza was very thin crust almost none with about 5 pepperonis. I had not had bread until last night and it went down fine. Had bout 5 pieces pizza. For supper I could not belive I ate the whole plate of cheezy cassrole. This morning the Hotdog and cassrole went down fine. About two weeks ago i got the stumack bug and had to Go to er so they could stop the vomiting, but I had already vomited for nine hours. they gave me three bags Fluid. anyway I great restriction till bout two day after that. I will do better starting now.

Do you think you need a fill? Sounds like maybe you do since you were able to eat so much and not get sick. Best of luck getting back on track!

So you fell off the wagon. Get back on and don't look back!!!! and get a fill . There is no way you could eat what you did with proper restriction.

Hey girl I hear ya! It's been hard for me too. Do you know how many CCs your band is? I had mine done 7/3/09 and it's an 11cc band. Yesterday I had my 4th fill for a total of 7.2ccs in there now. I could really feel a difference last evening! I'm being good and doing the 48 hours post-fill liquids but I can tell. I hope it doesn't loosen up after several days. I completely understand that when you have no restriction and you're THAT hungry, it's almost impossible. I mean you can keep it up for awhile, but not long-term - WHICH IS WHY WE NEEDED THE BANDS TO BEGIN WITH! :bored: Anyway, keep your chin up and don't beat yourself up for having a set-back. You're human and humans aren't perfect. :unsure:

Hang in there skinny! I completely understand your frustration--it's so hard when you are going by the book and the results aren't matching all your efforts. I think a lot of us are feeling that way lately and it's great we can all vent to each other and come here for support.

It definitely sounds like you need another fill. I could eat that much too, so I feel your pain. I am just trying to hold on to the next fill, but it's getting hard and I can sooo understand a mini binge, trust me.

It's great that you're getting back on the horse. You have been doing so great. I think once you get to some proper restriction, all of this will pay off for you.

Hang in there!!!! Now I want pizza LOL!

We've all 'been there, done that'. It will get better when your band is actually working with you. Just take each day as it comes. Sounds like you are back on track and recommitted so give yourself a pat on the back. Remember the old days when (if you're like me), you'd 'blow it' and then continue to blow it for weeks or months?

Hey no one's perfect. I'm a PERFECT example of that! Just don't allow how you felt the last two days to totally de-rail all the hard work you've put in.

I think it's really important to stay realistic. We should be ok to have something we truly enjoy sometimes, or it's just going to start feeling like "another diet" and we will tend to blow it on binges.

You likely need a little fill, but what you really need right now is some support. DO NOT GIVE UP AND DO NOT BEAT YOUR SELF UP! Just stay focused and just let that day be Water under the bridge.

You are doing really great. And yes, I do believe if any one of us didn't have an unhealthy relationship with food, we would not have needed the extra help of a lap-band.

Has the position/patency of your band been verified since your vomiting episode?

I think a trip to the doc to check things out and/or get a good fill would be a great first step.

We all struggle with the head hunger---I'm sorry your head won the battle, but that doesn't define you. Today's another day.

Don't beat yourself .. we are only human and have a lot osf years of bad habits that we are trying to "UNLEARN".

I binged yesterday also.. French Fries-- and I spent 1.5 hours sliming after I ate them

Hang in there and for absolution for today sing the old "Frito Bandito" song and then climb back on the wagon.

BTW -- this week I lost the 2#- I gained back last week.. I feel like I am on a teeter totter some weeks.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
