Anyone else need to get back on track, or is it just me?

I'm so mad at myself. We went to a couple of pool parties with party food and drinks over the holiday weekend. I weighed in today and I've gained 2 pounds. I've been on carb overload since then. I can't seem to stop! I did this to myself, I have no one to blame but me! I'm getting back on track today! Normally I track everything I eat on fitday and I haven't done that in almost a week. I can't believe after just 6 short weeks I've already gotten so complacent. Sheesh!!! I get another fill next Wed and boy do I need it. I can eat almost anything with no probs. Everything is going down too easy and I've gotten lazy!!! Not to mention the fact that I had several margaritas over the weekend loaded with empty calories and sugar. It's been so long since I had one and they were so good!! Enough is enough. Today I'm back on track with a vengence. Anyone want to join me. If not, just give me some supportive words please. Thanks!!!

i'm in the same boat! i was banded on 04/21/08 and had my first fill on 05/19/08. i was on the liquid then mushie diet up to my fill so i didn't start eating real food until 05/22/08. once i started i find it so hard to stop! as a matter of fact, i feel LESS restricted after my first fill! i'm going in for my 2nd fill on 06/07/08 and have already scheduled for july too!

Kris in Cleveland:

I noticed Dr. Trace Curry did your surgery. Was that in Cincinnati? Do you live in Cleveland and travel to Cinti? The reason I ask, I live in Northern Kentucky and have heard of Dr. Curry. I almost considered having him do my surgery, but he wasn't one of the providers my insurance company would accept. I had my surgery done by Dr. Thomas Sonnanstine in florence, KY and I am VERY pleased with him and his entire office staff.

Anyway, just curious.

And I, too, am able to eat more than I think I should be able to. I've had one fill, but obviously need more. Maybe we all just haven't hit that "sweet spot" yet. I've heard it frequently takes 3 fills to get there.

Hang in there ladies!

      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.
