@honk- thanks for the "lift". You're right. I'm sooo bored witht he liquids. I can't do the liquids anymore. i don't eat the bad stuff on a regular basis. I'm going to pray my way through this because "cold turkey" has never been my friend. Can't wait till my first fill. I hope I haven't done any damage.

Hi carriel, just wondering how is it going for because i can strongly relate to cheating. i noticed that in this forum, no one really admits to cheating but i believe in honesty. I've been banded for 3 weeks and i've been cheating since day 3. I wanted to know did it harm you in anyway and how are you coming along with your weight loss. I'm not a big cheater but i started mushies on day 3 and i eat oatmeal or grits 1 a day because i am too bored with the liquids. i can't do it.

@lamar44- I get so frustrated with people saying "you took the easy way out", "why didn't you just exercise?", etc... They just don't know my struggle everyday to stick to this post-op diet. It's like cold turkey overnight. No this is not the easy way but it is giving me a jumpstart but the maintainence is hell. Today i couldn't resist eating 2 twizzlers. I have pray my way through everyday

OMG, after reading your post, I felt a sense of renewal. I haven't attended any support groups, so the internet is my source of support. I Have been very hungry eating every 1-3 hours and i was wondering how could i possibly loose weight eating like this. I'm only 2 1/2 weeks post-op but I've been eating oatmeal, grits, salads with only lettuce & dressing, sampled a little chicken here and there, and ate a half slice of cake. My will power is terrible. Don't get me wrong, I'm sticking more to the diet than not, but it is horribly tough. Thank you so much for helping me to understand that what i'm going through is perfectly normal, as I'm scared to admit to my doc the truth about what i've been eating. Good to know that everyone here are not "Goody Too Shoes" with the perfect story.

I'm not sure if I'm too late with this post, but Torrid is a plus size store in US and they sell wide calf boots and some really hot wide heels. The website is torrid.com. Also try Onestopplus.com
