Well I am almost two weeks out I have lost 20 pounds, but I ate bad for 3 days now =( VERY disappointed in myself, but I am refocused and even started jogging just please pray I don't become overwhelmed again.

Well that's good u can admit u messed up and are gonna restart. You're not the first one to screw up and you won't be the last

We are changing years and years of bad habits and were gonna stumble along the way. It's hard, I know. But possible as u can see from the success stories

First, please fill out your profile so we can better answer your questions.

I'm assuming you mean you're 2 weeks post op. I'm also assuming you mean you cheated on your post op diet for the last 3 days. If both are true, you need to realize that by cheating you're only putting yourself at risk. The post op diet is to allow your stomach time to heal. Not only has it had a band placed around it but that band was also sewn to it. You have very fresh sutures trying to heal and it's imperative you stick to your post op diet so you don't risk injuring yourself or putting your band in jeopardy.

Stick to your post op diet. It's only a couple weeks and by not doing so is very risky.

In case your surgeon didn't explain to you why it's such a bad idea to cheat on your post-op diet, or you forgot the gist of it, I suggest that you read this article:

Also, it's time to face up to the fact that your band is not going to do all the work for you. I'm all for prayer, but it's going to take more than prayer for you to resist temptation and stick to the program.
