You are not alone. I didn't pig out like I would have a year ago, but I did eat too much. I got to the point of feeling FULL instead of satisfied. I am upset with myself, but I also know dwelling on it won't change anything. I have made good progress since my surgery in August, and this is just a minor bump. None of us are perfect, so we should expect that we will falter. The important thing is to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, learn from it, and move on. Part of my problem right now is that I have had 4 fills and yet to have any restriction. I am doing good at stopping with a cup of food no matter what......Thanksgiving was just harder for me.

Not sure how far along you are but you might want to do liquids tomorrow to offset any damage u did yesterday.

The band is all bout the ability to make good choices and learn what it will and I'll not tolerate.... You have to focus on portion sizes to discipline yourself otherwise you won't get the results you want.

My doctor made some great suggestions at my last appointment. She said for holidays or parties, walk through the buffet and rate each dish from 1-10 (1 being something you don't care for, 10 being favorite food, gotta have it). Only eat the 9's and 10's. The other stuff just isn't worth your valuable tummy space. Always make sure to get a workout in beforehand.

Yesterday is in the past. Let it go, and start fresh tomorrow!

Wise dr there, Daisychains, (by the way, you look great). As was said by the others, today is another new day. You can recover, you did not get fat from overeating one meal, at least that wasn't the way I was built! Best wishes, you can do it. Look at Floridays, and Daisyhcins, and even myself. We have almost 500 lbs loss together! Good luck, stay focused on the new you! Karen

Rough holiday for me too. Had 3 days of events.

Enjoyed some wine too. Up 1.2 lbs. Not great.

I was banded Oct 10 and have had 1 fill so far. I had some restriction for about 10 days but since Thanksgiving morning I have had very little. Going forward, off to the gym and made appt for fill this week. Gonna try not to beat myself up too much! Forge on bandsters!

_{The proper fill is important so be sure to work at finding that green spot. I have had three and this last one has done the trick and Thanksgiving was good. I did eat potatoes and stuffing (376 cals) so a lot less then any other holiday so I and happy about that. Get those fill every 2 wks until you can go 4-5 hours and not be hungry that how the band works so make sure you are allowing it to do its job.}
