i have been doing so well, since my banding in march, not feeling hungry, making wise choices, wellllll...today , that went out the window, i ate 12 samoa girl scout cookies without one bit of resistance......kentucky fried chicken,...and searching for chocolate tonite, it was as if there were no band in place, and i have been feeling resistance even tho i havent had a fill yet, anyone else get like this from time to time, i am hoping for a better day tomorrow

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. My cycles are totally out of wack. I haven't had since December (5 months) and no I am not preggers. I can just go long periods of time without one.

i hope so, just feel disappointed in myself, and that the band didnt stop me from eating 12 cookies at a time!!!!....tomorrow, i will be in a better frame of mind, i hope!

LOL I had that happen too. Luckily my birth control only makes me get a period 4 times a year, otherwise I'd be screwed. My surgeon said it was normal and I had gained 6 lbs but 2 days later it was gone again, mainly water weight I think. Hang in there!

I WAS THE SAME WAY THIS PAST WEEK....:mad2: IT WAS AWFUL. I HAVENT HAD A FILL YET AND I AM LIKE YOU I COULD EAT ANYTHING...GOING FOR FIRST FILL THE 26TH..I THINK THIS IS BANDSTER HELL FOR SURE. I HOPE THIS IS GOING TO GET BETTER EACH MONTH AT THIS TIME OR I MAY LOOSE MY MIND:scared2: GOOD LUCK

Hey there! This is definately not easy. My time of the month is the absolute hardest. We all make mistakes. Just hop back on and start again. GOOD LUCK! Make sure you don't let guilt get you. This is a journey, we are not perfect or we wouldn't be heavy in the first place. God Bless!

thank you tondavi, so far today is better, and you are right, it is hard, and i have to expect pitfalls.....nose to the grindstone...i'll have a better day today!

I totally understand what you are going thru...I am feeling the same way...which is what brought me to the site tonight...I was beginning to wonder if it was just me. Guess not! I'm total PMS which makes me 'not care' to a certain extent. I have been reaching for things that have not even been tempting for me...and stupid me...I made Cookies last night (knowing I would eat them). I won't get my first fill until June 4th and can't wait. I feel like I'm totally healed and ready for the restriction. I'm trying to eat smaller portions and don't even feel full. I almost miss that feeling right after surgery when everything was so swollen and I ate very little. I have been making sure that I get my exercise in. I mainly just walk, but tonight got a bit carried away and actually jogged. I could hardly believe that my body could move that fast!!

Hang in there. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

I have been going through the same thing these past couple of days! I was down 48 pounds now i am up 4! I cant wait for TOM to be done with!!!!

OMG!!! Thank you for posting this today. I too am getting my period today or tomorrow and I have had an unbelievable overwhelming feeling of hunger. I had my surgery on April 17 an dhave not had a fill and today I could eat a a cow!! I ate 1/2 a kitkat and 2 biscotti cookies and alot more carbs then I would have normally eaten. I do not know when my first fill is but I need it soon!!

so reassuring to know that other people are going through the same thing!....i know that we will all prevail over this dang time of the month!!!!! looking forward to that fill big time!
