Very bad day

[skinnygirl 1]

I got so tired of exersicing and the scale not moving so I ate everything yesterday and drank my first diet coke. I started off good having two eggs for Breakfast but then for lunch made homemade pizza. I had alot of it then made chezzy hashbrown cassrole for supper and had a whole plate of that. This morning for breakfast had half plate of the cassrole and one hotdog. I have decided to get over it and do better before I gain. I just needed to let it out that I screwed up. It just makes me made that I have done great and no weight loss. I have not ate that much since before the surgery.

When did you have your surgery? I can't imagine how you managed to eat that many carbs without getting sick! Didn't the diet coke give you problems? Is your band too loose?

I had my surgery on nov 23 and have 3cc in my bad. I had done great with my calories and exersice until last night. I don't even like coke, but for some reason I wanted one yesterday. I didn't drink it all at once a little hear and there but finished it within two hours. The pizza was very thin crust almost none with about 5 pepperonis. I had not had bread until last night and it went down fine. Had bout 5 pieces pizza. For supper I could not belive I ate the whole plate of cheezy cassrole. This morning the Hotdog and cassrole went down fine. About two weeks ago i got the stumack bug and had to Go to er so they could stop the vomiting, but I had already vomited for nine hours. they gave me three bags Fluid. anyway I great restriction till bout two day after that. I will do better starting now.

Do you think you need a fill? Sounds like maybe you do since you were able to eat so much and not get sick. Best of luck getting back on track!

So you fell off the wagon. Get back on and don't look back!!!! and get a fill . There is no way you could eat what you did with proper restriction.

Hey girl I hear ya! It's been hard for me too. Do you know how many CCs your band is? I had mine done 7/3/09 and it's an 11cc band. Yesterday I had my 4th fill for a total of 7.2ccs in there now. I could really feel a difference last evening! I'm being good and doing the 48 hours post-fill liquids but I can tell. I hope it doesn't loosen up after several days. I completely understand that when you have no restriction and you're THAT hungry, it's almost impossible. I mean you can keep it up for awhile, but not long-term - WHICH IS WHY WE NEEDED THE BANDS TO BEGIN WITH! :bored: Anyway, keep your chin up and don't beat yourself up for having a set-back. You're human and humans aren't perfect.

Hang in there skinny! I completely understand your frustration--it's so hard when you are going by the book and the results aren't matching all your efforts. I think a lot of us are feeling that way lately and it's great we can all vent to each other and come here for support.

It definitely sounds like you need another fill. I could eat that much too, so I feel your pain. I am just trying to hold on to the next fill, but it's getting hard and I can sooo understand a mini binge, trust me.

It's great that you're getting back on the horse. You have been doing so great. I think once you get to some proper restriction, all of this will pay off for you.

Hang in there!!!! Now I want pizza LOL!

We've all 'been there, done that'. It will get better when your band is actually working with you. Just take each day as it comes. Sounds like you are back on track and recommitted so give yourself a pat on the back. Remember the old days when (if you're like me), you'd 'blow it' and then continue to blow it for weeks or months?

Hey no one's perfect. I'm a PERFECT example of that! Just don't allow how you felt the last two days to totally de-rail all the hard work you've put in.

I think it's really important to stay realistic. We should be ok to have something we truly enjoy sometimes, or it's just going to start feeling like "another diet" and we will tend to blow it on binges.

You likely need a little fill, but what you really need right now is some support. DO NOT GIVE UP AND DO NOT BEAT YOUR SELF UP! Just stay focused and just let that day be Water under the bridge.

You are doing really great. And yes, I do believe if any one of us didn't have an unhealthy relationship with food, we would not have needed the extra help of a lap-band.

Ok I did bad the rest of the day as well. I went to mcdonalds and had the big mac wrap which was 320 calories. omg! It tasted better than a big mac. But I did exersice longer today 200 extra calories.

think positive and remember to keep doing exercise....don't feel bad, this is a constant battle and somedays are just not good.

wish you luck.

You definitely need a fill!!! Then it will get much better and easier. Good luck to you.

Has the position/patency of your band been verified since your vomiting episode?

I think a trip to the doc to check things out and/or get a good fill would be a great first step.

We all struggle with the head hunger---I'm sorry your head won the battle, but that doesn't define you. Today's another day.

Don't beat yourself .. we are only human and have a lot osf years of bad habits that we are trying to "UNLEARN".

I binged yesterday also.. French Fries-- and I spent 1.5 hours sliming after I ate them

Hang in there and for absolution for today sing the old "Frito Bandito" song and then climb back on the wagon.

BTW -- this week I lost the 2#- I gained back last week.. I feel like I am on a teeter totter some weeks.
