feeling guilty

[beebe 0]

I got banded on 2/25/11 and am now on blendrized foods. I have gained back 1.8 pounds of the 18 lbs lost. Well tonight I talked my hubby into getting bar-be-q, french fries, ribs and slaw for dinner. I was able to eat quarter of a rib, cup of the bar-be-q and quarter cup of slaw. O and about 6 french fries. All of this without putting it in the blender. It went down find with the help off some tea. I only had a cup of Soup today and my stomach was growling like crazy. Now I feel guilty. I seem to be hungry all the time will this change when I get the first fill?

I was banded in 2/28 and I have been ok with my hunger. I think my trick is I eat a little bit all day. Like for example today, I had a Protein shake on my way in to work, then at 9am I had a yogurt, then at 11:45 I had some chicken salad and a sugar free pudding, then at 2:30 I had another yogurt (carrot cake flavor, yum) and then at 3:45 I had another sugar free pudding. In between all that I was chugging Water. I have been sticking to that kind of eating pattern since surgery and I have lost 5lbs since surgery. Believe me I have wanted french fries and ice cream too, but I watch a lap band sugery on youtube.com yesterday and seeing the brutal things that were done inside me I have refrained from eating solid foods because it needs to heal. Try drinking more Water or crystal light. I have seen this post many times on this site, so you are not alone. I have heard this is the time you have to white knuckle through it. Remember that tummy of yours was just put through hell and back so be nice to it.

Good Luck!!
