Don't beat yourself up too much. Half the battle is recognizing what was ingested and what must be done to compensate for that. Wake up tomorrow and start the new day without the guilt. Good luck!

The best thing to do is realize that you made a mistake and not just think "well screw it, I've already wasted this whole day" and keep going....get right back on track. That was a hard, hard lesson for me to learn!

As long as you eat right 90% of the time. Think of it as shaking up your metabolism... As long as you don't do it often.

That's too funny we too have a Johnny Rockets by our local theater, small world. I admit I love popcorn too so what me and my husband do is get the small, I get a box put a small amount in it and when Im done Im done, Believe me it was trial and error on that too. Good luck

i always eat a small popcorn with layered butter at the movies - i average 1-2 movies per month - i sometimes can eat the whole bag sometimes only about half. It's my big cheat/splurge. I don't think twice about it - it may have barely slowed my weight loss but i doubt it and i'm happy with the pace i'm losing. Shaking up the metabolism is a good thing - i've learned that through this process.

Okay don't take this as being mean spirited. In the future plan to buy a hamburger no bun or fries and eat it while your daughter eats. I find the best defense against temptation is a plan. I'm sure you thought to yourself "I'm not going to eat anything this place is unhealthy." But by not ordering something you were tempted to eat bad choices. I have a friend that managed a fancy bistro. Mothers would come in buy really unhealty food for their kids and a green salad no dressing for themselves. The mother would eat all the kid's food and leave their salad. I'm sure their mentality was "I ordered a salad" yeah but they ate nachos and fried chicken fingers too.

I don't think of it as cheating! I believe its living, I believe that we need to start thinking like skinny people. They eat that stuff, they just moderate it. Just don't do it all the time. I allow myself junk, every now and again. HOWEVER, word to the wize, if its a trigger food, avoid it, cause thats a slippery slope! lol

Glad you caught yourself, enjoyed yourself, and now back to the bandwagon!

In my book, there is never a cheat. My band is for life. My eating habits are for life. I am not on a diet. I eat small portions. I make good choices most of the time. I enjoy foods that aren't so healthy some of the time.

My healthier choices happen far more than my less healthy choices. It is all about balance and moderation.

      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.
