You ate Because you didn't exercise the control not to.....to be completely honest.

Until you get restriction we must be very strict with ourselves.... Counting calories and eating the proper portions. It's the only way you will lose during this time.

I Don't know why you did that so soon after surgery. I really did a lot of soul searching. This is a major life change for me. You might want to think about the reason you did the surgery . If the real reason is just to look better, you may not make it. I needed to change for all of that and my health. Try going back to the feeling you had when you made the decision to have the surgery.prove to yourself your worth it.i now know I'm the one with the brain not the food.i know you can do this

Floridays is exactly right.

Plus, you need to realize the post op diet isn't there for you to lose weight. Your stomach has been banded and sutured. It's wounded. It needs time to heal. You're putting your band and health at risk by not following the doctor's orders and giving your body time to properly heal.
