Well I was banded on 11/5/10 so this has been the first Holiday season I was banded. I will say that it has been hard to watch people eat my favorite stuff when I can't have it. I must admit that I have eaten a few things that are not on my Protein and Veggies only Lap Band diet. Just wondering...am I the only one out there who has cheated?

I definitely have. My weight loss has been stalled for more than a week. It's frustrating but I'm determined to power through it. (Also my exercising has been off because of the holidays and I've had a lingering cold.)

You are not alone! I have overindulged more than a few times this past month. I have decided that I am not going to worry about it. I have one more night of this (tonight) then back on track. Though I haven't been as bad as I thought - I did manage to move the scale down 2 lbs last week - so I know I am at least doing something right

I felt like I ate so much "junk". I didn't go to the gym for 2 weeks (which is where I weigh because I don't own a scale at home) so I had no idea what my weight was doing. I went back to the gym Monday the 27th, the scale showed me the "exact" same weight! I hadn't moved even an ounce, which quite honestly I was greatful for! I was so afraid I had gained. So I worked out everyday this week and watched what I ate, and lost 3 pounds in 5 days!!! I'm ready to re-commit now that the Holidays are done!!! Good Luck Everyone!!! Happy New Year!
