I was banded 7/2/2010. Things had been going great, Ive lost 22 pounds and feeling good. I blew it tonight, I am soooo mad and disappointed with myself. I completely LOST control and started eating everything in sight. I ate mac a roni and cheese. / I ate half of a cheeseburger patty / then even though i felt full, I ate 2 bites of a polish dog and bun. I dont think i have hardly any restriction ( althoughim not even sure I know what restriction is yet ). I ate the food and didnt vomit or have an PB. I couldnt control myself and am paying fot it now. I feel so bloated, and my stomach hurts, and I have gas. I feel like a failure, I have done so well until now. Im worried i stretched my pouch or that the band is not going to be able to help me........ PLEASE HELP SOMEONE:sad:

If you're not hurting (other than gas and bloating) you're probably OK. If you start hurting call your doctor's office to find out what to do after hours. If you just feel irritated, I'd try liquids for a few days to let everything have a chance to heal and calm down.

Try to figure out why you went out of control. There are a lot of psychological reasons why we things like that. I know that I am an emotional eater and I have had to find other ways to deal with stress and strong negative emotions.

Best of luck.

Don`t beat yourself up ..this is all new to us and I am sure many of us fall off the wagon from time to time ..

I am sure you will be o.k...

Forget it and move forward ..CONGRATULATIONS on your loss so far...Hang in and if in doubt ring your dietitian/surgeon and go have a chat with them

All the best ..

Somewhere on this site I have almost the EXACT same post! I did the same "food break down" then panic:scared2: over the fact that I ate a whole bagel! Worried I would have stretched my pouch and so on. .......I like you,,,did not have restriction. You are probably no longer feeling the effects of being swollen from after your surgery and have been eating less on will power (just a guess).

I agree.. don't beat yourself up....this is a long journey and along the way we will have bad days. Just get your head and self together, put it behind you and move on. You can do it.

Best of luck.
