I can't stop eating... I think I am pmsing and just can't stop! Today I have had

1 1/2 eggs with a piece of toast for Breakfast, a Lean Cuisine (Chicken with Lazagna) for lunch, some halloween candy, small snack size but enough to make about 2 candy bars, then had some pop corn. Then a few more pieces of candy. The scary thing is that I still have not felt that I have had enough! What is happening to me??!!

I must regroup and pray that this is gone by tomorrow. It has been a slow process already, I would hate to gain some of the weight it took so long to lose!!

Thanks for listening... just had to put it in writing so I would realize I need to stop!!

Don't panic! I've had days like this too, and you will get back on track tomorrow. You really didn't have that bad of a day food wise. Compare it to a really bad day before you got your band...

Try taking 10 minutes in a dark room for some stretching and deep breathing. I've been doing that lately and it's helped me a lot. Good luck - you can do it! :)

At least yours is only one day!!! I've been doing that for the past couple of weeks (off and on). I am back on track though. Just go to bed, wake up tomorrow and continue eating the right way. That's the great thing about the band. Good luck to you.......

One piece of candy leads to two and three. If you can stop at one, go for it without regret. I'd also suggest increasing your snacking after lunch. I have been eating 1/2 banana w/ Peanut Butter, 1/2 small apple, and a yogurt between lunch and dinner. I'm hungry!!! But I'm still eating 1200 or so calories a day because I eat a big salad for dinner, or something otherwise sensible. Today I had a yogurt and a 1/2 turkey and cheese sandwich on toasted wheat bread with lettuce, onion, mayo and mustard. Hit the spot! It didn't have me craving more sugar, got me through till dinner, and stayed within my calorie range. Up those snaacks...make 'em good ones. Avoid the junk.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone. Tomorrow is a new day. I went to the store and bought some Protein Bars and some Protein Shakes. Hopefully that will help as well. I know most of us have these kind of days, but when you are "experiencing it" at the time, you just feel lost and ashamed. I will be back on the band wagon tomorrow!! Thanks again.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
