Succumb to temptation :(

I have eaten badly today and feel terrible... I ate a big bowl of corn chips and a whole bag of white cheddar cheese popcorn...I don't know what came over me. I hope I didn't ruin my band. I am 3 1/2 months banded. Has anyone else relapsed so early on? I will get back on track tomorrow...

It takes a lot more than that to ruin the band or cause damage. Especially since the foods you ate are all slider foods so they just pass right through anyway.

Don't beat yourself up, just learn from the experience and move on.

Tomorrow is a new day so just start over fresh and keep going forward.

Best wishes.

Girl if poor choices ruined the band mine would have been ruined along time ago. It's a tool not a cure and we still struggle with addictions to food with bad habits. Shrug it off and get back on Track tomorrow.

Think about why you did it. Examine how you were feeling and what your motivation was. I find that if I can understand why those slips happen, I can also plan for what I will do the next time those same feelings/situations occur.

BTW, why did you have the types of foods available to you?

Why wait till tomorrow? You had a moment of unhealthy food choices. It's over. Make healthy choices from now on.

It's okay to have a moment, just get back on track immediately following.

Forgive yourself and continue on the journey.

Just move on. You can't live with regret. It's a mistake, learn and go on living.

Terry, my husband brought it home...I usually have better control, but for some reason(that I am still trying to grasp why)I gave in...

I know what you're talking about. I am finally learning not to give in. Today I bought my husband 2 bags of potato chips. I did not even try one. I had almonds, one of my have to have foods. I buy cheap no salt almonds and roast them in a pan with some olive oil and keep them in the refrigerator. I love these.

      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.
