In need of course adjustment

sunshinenh · January 25, 2006

Hi everyone. I haven't been here (LBS) for a few days because I seem to have lost all the restriction that I had from my surgery. Doing great - then all gone, literally overnight. Have come to realized that I haven't changed one bit. The very first moment I felt I could safely do so, I overate. Haven't been chew chewing (don't have to). Then introduced chocolate back into my life. I feel quite out of control now and am so disappointed with myself. I know this is supposed to be the time I learn how to make changes, but WOW give me an inch... Just needed to vent a bit, I feel so lost. Thank you for listening. I called my surgeon and am getting a fill Thursday morning. Could really use some advise on making it through Wednesday.

You have lost 45 pounds, I'm doubting Wed will make you gain all that back. Eat up, you'll be on liquids again after your fill. kidding.

Keep your Water handy and sip all day. Brush your teeth every 3 hours all day. Chew gum. Get rid of the choclate, or if you have to, give yourself 3 candy kisses and that's IT! The band is made to work properly when filled. Hang in there and be glad you don't have to wait 2 weeks for your fill!!! You'll be below 250 before you know it! Woooot!!!!

Youve made it another day! Tomorrow is the fill date... now, just one more day.

Dont be so hard on yourself. We ALL fall off the bandwagon and have to get back on. Just use this fill as a new beginning. And until then, lighten up! Like Kathy said, youre not gonna gain much - if anything - between now and then. AND - once you get that fill and do liquids for a day or 2, its gonna all come off.

:cake:
