Wasn't the best choice of foods but just log the calories and move on. We're only allowed so many calories a day so it's best to use them on healthy foods. Remember this isn't a diet, it's a new way of life. We're working on forming new habits.

"...guess i wont eat tmrw"

No! Don't do that! That's just starting bad eating habits. Like anything else, if you fall off of the wagon, just get back on. Go back to what you're supposed to eat. Skipping meals is not good and is what got a lot of us into this pickle in the first place. As they say, two wrongs don't make a right. Stop beating yourself up, you're only human. So, you had a slip or treated yourself, or whatever you want to call it. Life goes on, now, it's time to get back to business. Binge eating and then starving yourself is bad for your body. Every day is a chance to start over.

Forgot one more thing, Ms Rhonda,

Only you can make yourself feel bad. You control your feelings, no one else. Part of all of this is taking responsibility for your actions. We're here to support you and tell you the truth (as we see it).

Sheesh, you would have thought you had a whole pizza... It was only one slice right? Mark it down and count the calories and move on. I usually can't eat the bread part, so I usually just eat the topping off of one slice ... Yum!!

Eat better tomorrow, its a new day!!

In the future you may want to stop associating food with happiness..because if you think about it..... It couldn't be farther from the truth

Make sure you track your calories and get back on track tomorrow.

I agree! Own it, count it and move on. And do not skip eating tomorrow. Eat your 3 meals and count your calories and Protein grams.

It was one piece of pizza, move on. Word of caution, your relationship with food and events will need to change over time. To be very successful with lap band food needs to be about nutrition and not assiciated with events. Pizza is one of my favoites and I do have it occassional. One very small piece and on a cracker thin crust. I am unfortunaltely one of those banded persons who does not do well with bread products, they always get stuck. I was many months out before I even tried foods like pizza, I was to afraid it would get stuck. Just log it and move on. It is not worth getting up set over and please eat tomorrow, missing meals is not healthy and not a behavior you want to start.

I had a slice of pizza with my family last week, I didn't feel bad, I enjoyed it and counted it into my daily food portions and I still lost last week. In the past I would have inhaled the whole pizza but I enjoyed one very small piece and left it at that. That's what the band allows us to do now, eat much smaller amounts. Sure you can't have pizza everyday and expect to loose but every now and again is fine.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
