Ok its been 3 wks since surgery, and starting last night was a train wreck. My not overweight husband and skinny sister went out to return a movie and brought back not 1 or 2 but 3 different bags of Oreo's! And OMG i scarfed down like 6 and today (not all day was bad) had like at least another 6 throughout the day!!!

I felt lethargic today, I guess because the passed few nights I have not slept well (baby got up a few in a row, the room was hot at 4am and husband wanted to..ahem...you know). I actually got a little energy from those cookies at one point.

So now I'm feeling so guilty and fat and mad at myself.

Is this a big time sign that I need a (first) fill? Dr. scheduled a 6 wk follow up with a "50/50 chance of a fill" 6 WEEKS??????

did you eat them because you were hungry or because they were good. I find sometimes..I want to eat more than I should just because...not because I am hungry

It was like an uncontrollable urge to jam them in my mouth...like i didnt care about anything but those stupid cookies. I should mention I'm not in no way shape or form am an emotional eater- if ever i feel sad, or mad or whatever- eating is the LAST thing i wanna do. I think maybe because i hadnt eaten anything like that in so long...

Three weeks post-op I was still on serious mushies!

Just make sure you start over again the next day. If I mess up, I just say well tomorrow is a new day. I bought candy the other day and took too bites and had to throw it away! It was too sweet and did not even taste good like it used to. You will get through this!

Maybe your husband could be a little more sensitive and not eat them around you. Atleast during your early stages here where you haven't broken your bad eating habits and you are still learning how to eat with the band. I am lucky because even though my husband is thin, he prefers to eat healthy, which makes it easier for me. I'm only 10 days banded and just started mushies. But I didn't go through this surgery to not be successful. So good luck to you. Take care of yourself.
