Jenean 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Please tell me I am not the only one to over pack my pouch during the holidays. I had surgery in July...was doing fine lost 33 lbs....made it through Thanksgiving but one week before Christmas I couldn't stop eating Cookies and fudge...I hope I haven't hurt my band...had some uncomfortable feelings for about 36 hours but it went away...will go in to Dr. next week for a fluoro... I believe I was doing so well I got careless....thats not good....any comments would be appreciated... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyNana 10 Posted January 3, 2006 Fortunately, but unfortunately, Cookies and fudge seem to dissolve way to easy, at least for me. I doubt you've overpacked, but please let us know what dr said after fluoro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giveyouthemoon 4 Posted January 4, 2006 Oh yes. I also ate way too much over the holidays. I had a couple days where I was totally surprised at how much I was able to get down. Then the next day (New Year's Day) to be exact, I had THE WORST PB ever in my history. I was eating a Carl's JR Low Carb (lettuce wrapped) burger and my band DID NOT like it. I guess the band is self regulating? I ate too much and then it gets uppity and makes it tough? Dunno. But I was on a road trip and ended up barfing in a crappy dirty gas station bathroom. Not my finest hour. And now I can't seem to get through a day without PB'ing. I went back to mushies but that was a no go. So today I'm on liquids. *sigh* The good news is that I didn't gain any weight. But I also haven't lost any this month.... So we're back on track right? Back on schedule. Back doing what I know is best for my band. I realize the "I can eat whatever I want just in smaller amounts" is SUCH a fallacy. I thrive when I eat the right foods in right amounts and exercise.

GrizGirl 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Oh Karen, we must be living parallel lives. I was amazed how much I could eat (and did) on New Years Eve. Ribs and Mac & cheese, (The good home made kind) assorted appetizers and a multitude of other crap. Well, ever since then, my band has been rebelling. I too can't seem to make it a day without a PB..The worst was last night. I am doing liquids today and tomorrow to see if I can't get the old stoma to settle on down a bit. Hang in there.

giveyouthemoon 4 Posted January 4, 2006 I am doing liquids today and tomorrow to see if I can't get the old stoma to settle on down a bit. Wow Sal, yeah, we're on the same page. Today my tummy is so upset and rumbly. It's NOT happy with me. Doing all liquids. The good news is that I just got a low carb cookbook over T'giving and it has a bunch of easy Soup recipes. Yay! I made the BEST black olive Soup today. And it's low carb!! I guess if I have to do liquids (*sigh*) I may as well do YUMMY liquids. But I sure will be happy when Katrinka (my band) settles her little self down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
