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.

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

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 ?

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 :o

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 :)

At the same time?!?!?! :wacko::blink::P

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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
