I have eaten badly today and feel terrible... I ate a big bowl of corn chips and a whole bag of white cheddar cheese popcorn...I don't know what came over me. I hope I didn't ruin my band. I am 3 1/2 months banded. Has anyone else relapsed so early on? I will get back on track tomorrow...

You didn't relapse you just made poor food choices today. So what!! Move on tomorrows another day and you'll make better choices!!

It takes a lot more than that to ruin the band or cause damage. Especially since the foods you ate are all slider foods so they just pass right through anyway.

Don't beat yourself up, just learn from the experience and move on.

Tomorrow is a new day so just start over fresh and keep going forward.

Best wishes.

yep, own it and move on! Don't beat yourself up, you are in this for the long haul!

Your welcome!!

Girl if poor choices ruined the band mine would have been ruined along time ago. It's a tool not a cure and we still struggle with addictions to food with bad habits. Shrug it off and get back on Track tomorrow.

Thanks everyone! Tomorrow is a new day...

Think about why you did it. Examine how you were feeling and what your motivation was. I find that if I can understand why those slips happen, I can also plan for what I will do the next time those same feelings/situations occur.

BTW, why did you have the types of foods available to you?

Why wait till tomorrow? You had a moment of unhealthy food choices. It's over. Make healthy choices from now on.

It's okay to have a moment, just get back on track immediately following.

Forgive yourself and continue on the journey.

Just move on. You can't live with regret. It's a mistake, learn and go on living.

Just keep moving!

Terry, my husband brought it home...I usually have better control, but for some reason(that I am still trying to grasp why)I gave in...

I know what you're talking about. I am finally learning not to give in. Today I bought my husband 2 bags of potato chips. I did not even try one. I had almonds, one of my have to have foods. I buy cheap no salt almonds and roast them in a pan with some olive oil and keep them in the refrigerator. I love these.
