on vacation, no fills yet, gaining

[jdulac 0]

I have been on vacation since last wednesday in an RV with two kids and in-laws. I have gained 2-3 lbs. I am so disquested with myself. But I am away from my routine and home and everyone is eatting out and picking all day so I find myself doing it. I am 5 weeks out and have nothing in my band so of course it feels like it isn't there. I can eat anything I want. I am just wanting to get home and get my fill next wednesday.

Feeling disgusted with yourself is counterproductive. Give yourself a break. Your vacation is not going to last forever. Take a deep breath, relax, and just try eating less at each meal.

Chances are you won't have restriction after your first fill so, you have to go easy on yourself so you don't sabotage your progress. You are so early in the game that this little hiccup will be but a distant memory when you finally have restriction and the pounds start to drop! Hang in there, the best is yet to come!

All the best to you on your journey!

I gained weight before my first fill too, without the vacation or RV! Don't worry, just let your band heal and when you come home and start getting fills it will get better.

Dont beat yourself up. I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago - 9 days in an RV with my parents came home for a day then we went on a 7 day cruise. No fills yet, banded June 10th.

I gained 5lbs but it was lost within 10 days or so. I guess most of it was Water retention from eating out, salty foods, alcohol on the cruise etc.
