Hello friends, today I am doing the walk of shame. I was banded on Sept l, 09 and am down l4 lbs. Today I dont know what happened, but I ate like there was no tomorrow.

I had chowmein and orange chicken for lunch (ate the whole thing) and since I had already blown it for the day I went to Starbucks and had a iced caramal (non fat) machiatto with (wait im not done) a piece of coffee cake:eek:.

I have been doing so good. I feel so ashamed. I dont get my first fill until Oct l6th. I have to admit that I am hungry every day and my weight loss has been pure will power. I am only 3 (4 by tomorrow) lbs to wonderland and was so excited to get there. Why did I do this to myself?

I'll start over tomorrow. I just had to vent.

dont be too hard on yourself.. just get back on track tommorow.. you be fine..

ive been banded for 2.5yrs and still have my slip-ups now and then..

it gets a little easier when you hit that sweet spot...

Like Scarlett O'Hara says....Tomorrow is another day.

Don't worry about it. I've had days like that too. Then, the next day I started over, and didn't look back. Life is about ups and downs, and taking care of ourselves is no different.

Sounds like you are in bandster hell!!

I went through similar until I had my first fill last week. My doc put 3cc's in my band and although the first day I felt LOTS of restriction it seems less now. I am definitely able to eat more than 1/2 cup at a sitting. I am trying to make good choices and take my time eating and chewing.

Your fill will come soon and you will feel better! It is a process, that is for sure. You have done really well, one day won't hurt.. tomorrow is a new day!! :tongue2:

I am in bandster hell right now waiting for my 1st fill. Don't feel too bad. I ate pizza - not 1 - not 2 but 4 slices!! I was hungry and it tasted insanely good but then it just sat on my chest (not painful) for half an hour. Not doing that again but I cant wait for my 1st fill.

Starbucks! mmmmmmmm

hey it could have been .. don't beat yourself up with a slip. We are only human... getting the band doesn't make you immune to the powers of food... lol

I say enjoy it while you can! This will all change once you have fills and get good restriction. Just don't over do it in the meantime!!

There is no shame in being human.

I'm not there yet, so my advice may be lame, but my doctor said when waiting for a fill, try and eat Breakfast and lunch closer together, then allow yourself a midafternoon snack to tide you til dinner. That is supposed to help you not get so hungry.

Been there, done that. I posted about it just a few days ago. I felt like crap! Seems like it happens to most of us on here.

Tomorrow's another day so just get back on the "band" wagon and you'll be fine.

Take care and God bless.
