I am going on vacation the 14th and plan to take my scale with me. My running shoes and clothes are the first things I will pack. I am hoping to stay on track!

As for you, I think you should remember we all make mistakes. Just get yourself back on track and put the mistakes behind you.

I gained nearly 10 pounds in a week when my in-laws visited several weeks ago (stress eating & drinking). I just kept chugging on, I didn't feel guilty. I went back to a high Protein, low cal diet and resumed my workouts and dropped the weight in a couple weeks thanks to the band. The band will help get you back on track now that you are back to your normal. This isn't like before when we would mess up and throw in the towel and stop dieting altogether, you will eventually lose your vacation weight whether you feel like you deserve it or not. Just move on and don't worry about it.

well worrying about what you did is doing you no good now and its essentially a waste of time

start back on program right now...whats done is done and we cant change what happened yesterday, but we can change what happens today

Did you enjoy your vacation?? That's what is important, not the number on the scale. Today is a new day friend. :)

Like the others said, let go of what happened. Remember it's a journey and regular, healthy, "normal" people go on vacation and gain a few pounds.

As for what to do now - when I want to get back on track I write out a menu for 4-5 days making sure that I'm getting in the required Protein and staying within my calorie limits. Then I go to the store and make sure I have everything I need to be successful. If my meals are planned and I have healthy Snacks then it makes it so much easier to get and stay on track.

Best of luck!

Good job Liz. I too was away for a few days and ate out a couple of times when I got home. I still managed to lose a half pound and I feel great....I feel in control. What a change for me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
