I have not had a good day. Man, once you eat sugar just once (the party yesterday) all of those cravings come right back. I will think twice next time. The scales were the same this morning. I am going with my family to eat chinese tonight. Tommorow I will begin again. :wink2:

I won't be posting for all to see today. Just know it wasn't great!! Could be much worse, but not great!!

I know exactly what you mean ... I know if I even allow myself to have one of those little cupcakes, next thing I'll be doin' is getting into the frosting and eating it by the spoonfuls :wink2:

tommorow is a new day. In the past I have been so all or nothing. I would have a "bad day" and so I would just quit. I am having to learn that it is not necesary to be perfect, just consistant. I am so glad that tommorow is a new day!!

It's not a big deal unless it repeats day after day, and we won't be doing that!! It's all good.

This is exactly how I used to be, all or nothing.

Yesterday wasn't the best day for me either. I didn't feel good for most of the day but I started feeling a lot better last night. Well, we ended up going to Ruby Tuesday and I ordered the Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Chip. That really wasn't that bad, but I ate some of my neice's chocolate Tallcake :wink2:. Once I started, I couldn't stop. Why does the bad stuff have to go down so easy, ggrrrrr? Anyway, today I started back strong again.

Here's what I had today:

B'fast- low carb slim fast - 2 carbs

Lunch- taco salad (no shell) - ? carbs

Dinner- 1 chicken breast stuffed with creamed spinach and artichokes - 7 carbs

looks like Monday is a new day for me too. depending on what the scale says tomorrow morning, i may have the "free weekend" but not overboard.

even if they stay the same, i'll be fine with it.

georgia - is there a recipe for that chicken breast? sounds great!

Losingjusme- I bought these chicken breast at Wal-mart in the frozen section. It's the Sams Choice brand and they are really good. They only have 7 net carbs (8 total carbs) per chicken breast. I also bought some stuffed with mushrooms and swiss cheese, can't wait to try them. I don't remember how much they cost (couldn't have been too much or I wouldn't have bought them), but it comes 2 to a box and the chicken breasts are a really good size. I wasn't quite able to eat the whole thing but I got just a little over half of it down. It's very flavorful too.

You should be so proud of yourself for getting back on track today. That is key, I think. An off day isn't a big deal unless you pile a lot of them together. I wish I had done better today. I am going to get back at it tommorow!!!! Quote this post to me if I don't. :eek:

Thanks Renewed! You'll get back on track, I know it! I think I am going to do what Losing said she was doing, have one freeday a week, probably Friday or Saturday of each week (we like to eat out on the weekends). I think it will keep me sane, lol! If I look back to the way I was eating pre-band, yesterday wasn't all that bad. It is so weird to compare how much I eat now and how much I used to eat. Even on a bad day now, it's a lot better than pre-band days. I have 4 more pounds to lose before Valentine's Day and I'm hoping maybe I'll even surpass it! Everyone's doing so good, let's make this week a good one!

      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.
