Very Disappointed In Myself... :(

I am so very disappointed in myself. I was so excited to start this journey when I had my surgery back in December. Once I got past the "scared" zone of thinking anything I ate off of the meal plan would make me explode and ruin my surgery, I find I am slipping back into bad patterns. I am certainly not eating as much and I started off with such great intentions....they actually stuck for awhile. I have gone from absolutely no carbs to having small amounts of pasta, Subway sandwiches, rice crackers, Chipotle burrito bowls, Panda Express and high carb soups. I just keep moving in the wrong direction!   What is wrong with me? My weight is on a rollar coaster and at the end of the month, I am LUCKY to have lost 5-6 lbs for the month. I know our weight fluctuates, but how can a person weigh 9 more pounds on Monday than they did on Friday? I was around 1500 calories a day and walked 3 miles a day both Saturday and Sunday, so what is wrong with this picture?   I am so very disappointed in myself for now trying to cheat the band. All I am doing is cheating myself. How can I do this? How can I fall back into the same bad eating and drinking patterns that put me here? I am 291 - wait that was Friday.... Today I am 296 and have a very long journey ahead of me and I am already failing. This is just like my "old" life.... I know what I am supposed to do, to eat, to think.... but I just don't do it.   I also have 5.5 cc's in a 10 cc band and do not feel the restriction much. I know I am eating too much, but I haven't felt the uncomfortable feeling of fullness or any vomiting. My next fill appointment is 3/22, maybe the additional fluid will help me??? I need help. I really need to help myself. What can't I do that?

First Timer Here! 3 Weeks Since Surgery...

This is my first entry as I just found this wonderful site! It is three weeks to the day that I had my lap-band surgery. I am feeling great (can finally roll over in bed without pain!) but I feel my appetite creeping back! My first adjustment is on Monday 1/16 - I am a little nervous about it, but excited at the same time. I have only lost 18 pounds and that plays tricks with my mind. I am eating less than 500 calories a day.... doesn't compute. I started walked about 20 minutes a day about 3 days ago and I am starting to feel better. I have a long road ahead of me, but looking forward to the once in a lifetime journey. 18 down 155 to go! Have a blessed day! Leslie
