I was banded on June 4th and have not had any sweets since then. I was in the office today and there were cupcakes out and for some reason I could not stop myself from eating one. THE GUILT IS INCREDIBLE !!!!! Anyway I am not writing this to be absolved just pissed at myself !!!! Have A Great 4th Of July Everyone!!! :thumbup:

Just think about what you said A CUPCAKE..JUST ONE!! Thats great!!!

How many would you have had before the band? I don't know about you but if I could stop at one cupcake I wouldn't need to be banded LOL

Everything in moderation has always been the rule, it's just before the band I couldn't follow it....

You are doing great, no beating yourself up.....

You Guys & Gals ROCK !!!!!!!!!!! We are all here for the right reasons and for the first time in my life I feel good about myself and the direction that I am heading in !!!!!!! Thank You all For Being Here For Me and Everyone else in need. I will be here for you as well !!!

Have A Great Fourth Of July Weekend !!!

Ok...so my question is...how did you feel physically after you ate it? I just got banded this past monday and can't imagine ever being able to eat anything without being sick. I know it is silly....but am not sure if i shouldn't eat something now b/c I CANT or because i SHOULDNT?

I'm still on my post-op liquid diet, and I've been losing weight really quickly on it because I've been really good to get in all my Protein and keep my carbs pretty low, but I've been to Starbucks twice for a small frapuccino and even though they're a few hundred calories, I know that I'm making up for it because I'm doing so good elsewhere. I'm staying well under 1000 calories a day right now, so I know that 2 or 300 extra, just once or twice, isn't going to be a big problem.

Now that I've had a couple though, I know it's time to lay off for a while and make sure I don't start indulging too often. And honestly, I'm okay with that because I haven't let this big craving build up to where I cant control it and just go nuts.

Better to have one cupcake every now and then, than to let a craving build and binge on 10 of them at once when you finally can't handle it anymore!

You Guys & Gals ROCK !!!!!!!!!!! We are all here for the right reasons and for the first time in my life I feel good about myself and the direction that I am heading in !!!!!!!

As you should! It sounds like you're doing great. :thumbup:

Happy 4th!
