So I did it. I ate 2 peices of pizza for lunch today. I let the craving win over. I am ashamed I did it. Once again I gave into gluttony. The pizza wasnt even that good. I dont get the same "feelings" I use to from eating that I did before being banded. I feel like Ive eaten a rock. No nothing feels stuck, but I just feel heavy. Ive been doing so good too. Im just dissapointed in myself. Im down 40 pounds, and I feel like I am at a stand still. Ive tried to shake things up and change up my routine. Im at a loss, and Im just feeling guilty about what I just consumed. I thought I had this head hunger craving thing taken care of, it seems that it has creeped back up on me. I guess its back to reality tonight for dinner. Who do I think I am? I keep having to tell myself you are a fat girl in recovery, you cant allow those feelings to take you over. Look what happens when you do! Im just venting. I know there are people out here that are in the same shoes as I am. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Thanks for reading...:thumbdown:

Don't be so hard on yourself, honey. Everyone slips sometimes and overall you are doing a GREAT job!! It's really part of learning to eat and live totally differently. And look how much you learned too - it wasn't even that good! It did not help like it did before you got banded! All very great signs! Plus you've lost a TON of weight too. I'd say you are doing terrific and you had a slip. Oh well, that's part of life! So call it a learning experience, dust yourself off and begin again tomorrow. It's really OK. You are forgiven!! Now forgive yourself and do something to help someone else for pennance and move on! OK? OK!!

Allis, what's done is done. Take it as a lesson learned and get right back up on that horse! You're doing great!

Allis, forgive me in advance, I probably missed something here, but that's normal for me, LOL, but when were you banded?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
