Dear Want so bad,

Seems to me your having a case of "nerves", just plain ol' nervous nerves,by all means don't throw up what you've just consumed, forget about it!!! so you ate something not on your pre-op diet, tomarrow is a new day, start fresh tomarrow, but tonight may I sugest a couple of things....1) re-new your mind.. look at before and after pics of lap-band patients, this will renew your excitment, as well as give you something to look foward too, one day you will be posting before and after pics). 2) re examine the reasons your having a lap band, health reasons perhaps, more energy, what ever the reason dont let a temporary siuation(feeling) cloud your enthusiasm for the life changing decision you've decided to make....... I applaude you for stepping up to the plate to take control over your weight, 3) i don't know your religious beliefs, but I strongly encourage you to pray, the bible says a righteous man(woman) falls seven times, but gets back up.... You can do this!!!! and with the support of family, friends, and this site, your bound to succeed. God Bless.

want so bad- I am hearing ya loud and clear! I got home from this first day of the pre-op diet and wanted to lose my mind. I was grouchy, anxious, and thought I was starving. I ate two no bake cookies! Yikes! I stopped myself and took some deep breaths and thought about the reasons I am having this surgery and how wonderful it will be. I was so having a stress moment about the wanting to eat- that I almost had a eating frenzy of not good foods. I stopped at the two Cookies and ate my dinner that is part of the diet. I feel better now. Throughout the day I have had moments where I wanted to give in, but it I just divert my attentions and do something else, once the 15 minutes or so pass, I am fine. Hang in there- we can do it! Don't let your slip up derail your progress. Just start again from this moment on.

I drank a few glasses of Water and that filled my tummy up too and really seemed to help. Try to really keep up the water intake to fill you up.
