I was banded 6 weeks ago this past Thursday. My family and I went on vacation for Thanksiving this year. I was thrilled, I wont be here to worry about all that food. I left Wednesday and came back today, and I cant tell you how big of a mistake it was. I weighed a minute ago and I have gained 6 pounds in 5 days. But....let me tell you what I ate....

In the 5 days:

gravy and biscuits, eggs, open faced roast beef sandwich with mashed pot. and gravy, a whole pecan pie ( 1 piece at a time) ribeye steak, hamburger, baked Beans, cole slaw, potato salad, popcorn, BBQ, fried green tomatoes, onion rings, lots of sweet tea, baked fish, virgin strawberry drink, baked chex mix, hotdog....this is just what I can remember. I ate small amounts at a time, but I kept working on it till I got it all down!!!!!!

I dont know what I am gonna do with myself....I went to te Dr before I left and since I lost since my surgery he doesnt want to even talk to me about my first fill until afteChristmas....what do I do....I cant continue like this??????

I have even considered taking some left over diet med's to knock off my appetite....what do I do?

Has anyone else had an appetite like this 6 weeks after banding?

Are you eating high protein foods? I have found that 120g of protein a day and eating every two hours eliminates my hunger pains and I stay away from sugar. What foods where you eating before your trip?
