Hi Y'all

OK so today is my 2 month band anniversary. To date I've lost 35lbs and am so pleased w/ my band. However I feel totally bad about myself this weekend. I fell off the wagon!!!! Last night we had family over for a BBQ and I ate a hamburger pattie, Beans and potato salad. I also had a piece of coconut pie. Today I had nachos for dinner. I've been staying around 900 calories a day but, I know I went way over that last night and today. Granted the amount of bad food I ate is no where near what I use to be able to scarf down but none the less it makes me very disappointed in myself. I know I need another fill but, my doc can't see me until April 12th. That's 3 more weeks!!! Anyone else ever felt like this before? And what should I do in the mean time while I'm waiting to get my next fill? I've started feeling hungry sooner. Any advice would help. Thanks for listening.

First off, stop beating yourself up over this. You are doing wonderful. And, I don't know about you, but I sure didn't get this band for depriving myself of the things I enjoy for the rest of my life. There are times we indulge, and that is ok. It is called living life! As long as it doesn't become an every day habit, you are ok. You are more aware of what you are eating now and making healthier choices, so you are doing well. And when you do treat yourself, your band is there to stop you from overdoing it.

As far as feeling hungrier sooner, try upping your Protein intake. Or adding some low calorie Snacks between meals. Often, when I think I am hungry, I drink Water and that satisifies me as well.

HI RYAN, I WELL AGREE WITH SUSAN ITS OK TO HAVE THE ODD THING THAT WE SHOULDNT AS LONG AS IT STAYS THAT WAY, ITS NO GOOD WORRYING ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT JUST MOVE FORWARD AS THE NEXT DAY, IS A NEW DAY TO GET BACK ON TRACK, AFTER ALL WE ARE ONLY HUMAN, WE ALL DO IT FROM TIME TO TIME AND ITS PERFECTLY NORMAL. I ALSO AGREE WITH SUSAN INTAKE MORE FLUIDS AS IT REALLY DOES TAKE THE EDGE OFF THE HUNGER, I KEEP CHILLED WATER IN MY FRIDGE I HAVE THAT WITH ICE ITS SO NICE AND THE HUNGER SOON PASSES.

Just try and eat your 900 calorie diet. You shouldn't be able to eat all that food with the best restriction.

Hey it happens, the good thing is you know you did wrong and want to NOT to it again. We all have done it at least once!

Just pick yourself up, take this as a lesson to heart and go forward! Good luck!

Thanks Y'all!!!!

I feel better I'm back to my 900 calorie a day diet. Still feeling hungry though. Guess I just gotta wait it out until I can get my fill on April 12th. Just seems so far away!!! Wish me luck and thanks for the replies.
