Guess I just cheated :/ It killed me but I wanted it so bad. Anyone please give me some meal plans and/or advice.

We all cheat at some time. Just start a new day with a new goal.

My RN says it is ok to have some "real" non diet stuff.......sometimes. But always count it in your calories for the day. and always forgive yourself.

Thank you, so tomorrow I am going to say that I am not going to cheat anymore.

I guess im confused on how you "cheated ?" Because you ate something that wasn't healthy ? Welcome to the real world ! Nobodys diet is perfect, my own Dr said as long as I ate healthy 95 % of the time, id be fine. He was right, and I include a treat every day in my daily amount of food. I had 2 chocolate chip cookies today , mmmmm ! What did you "cheat " with ?

Ha I had cheese itz and sour patch kids.

Cheese Itz and Sour Patch kids are hard to resist! I so understand where you are coming from, take each day slowly and just try your hardest. We all fall, but its about how quickly you get back up that matters. Don't linger on what you did just think about how you can stop your self from doing again! You can do it! xx

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but I would make a vow to not cheat the rest of this week and start each day with the same vow. Before being banded I started each day with a new diet and told myself I wouldn't cheat and then I'd cheat. Breaking vows can become too easy so don't go too hard on yourself, once your band is adjusted, you'll not even think about cheating most days.

Don't even get me around jalapeno Cheetos. I'm gone

ENJOY !

you guys make me laugh thank for making me feel better.

We all do it! (don't even ask me about the peanut butter cookies I baked a few weeks ago...OY!!) The best thing to do is to not get down on yourself, and just keep moving forward.

I love Cheez-it's could eat boxes of them before banding... one of the things I noticed since being banded is that I can eat something bad but don't go crazy.. My Dr. said, eat what you want but track your calories . I know that things like chips, cheez-it's etc. will trigger my bad behavior so I try to stay away from them..Sometimes I eat a few chips from my grandkids lunches. I eat wheat thins sometimes with my chicken salad.. but they are only 130 calories for 16.. so I dole out my 16 and that's it.. You will be fine, just keep your eye on the prize...

Stop thinking of it as cheating! It's just calories. If you eat it, write it down and move on. "Cheating" implies that you are on a diet, which you are not. In order to be successful in the long run with your band, you need to make lifestyle changes.

Just my opinion.

Agreed....I tell myself that I am not dieting. I always failed on diets. I count every calorie including the bad ones and I just know I have eat light and well the rest of the day. I like that, with the band, even if I do eat something that isn't particularly healthy, I won't eat near what I use to. It's a wonderful tool. I also remember that I will need to get on the treadmill a little longer

Ha I had cheese itz and sour patch kids.

At the same time?!?!?!

The fact that you realize and regret it means you will be ok. We have all slipped up... you get back on track and punish yourself with an extra 10 min on treadmill, an extra couples sets of weights, or one more walk around the block.

Thank you guys for all of your wonderful advice. Today I am only going to eat what I am suppose to. Wish me luck I am on my way to success with my new life style.
