Confessing, Moving Forward

[kimmyv 0]

You all are so AWESOME!! I guess I was confessing not staying on "plan" by making healthy choices and got that self sabatoge feeling that I am sure we have all felt on the many diets that we've tried. I can say though---I felt so sick and the next day was not pretty either--It is a good way to move towards healthier choices or healthier versions at least. And I won't beat myself up over the slip ups-- The major jist that I get is we need to keep our eye on the prize and keep moving forward--even if we stumble along the way. I just felt so guilty because I am a self pay and I really don't want to screw this up both for financial and health reasons.

Thank you all for your persepctives-- It really helps alot!

chicamam1-- We have the same surgery date and I haven't really been that hungry either. 4-6oz really fills me up. We're both learning about this band- I am sure that we will both feel differently after we get our fills. Mine is next week and I cannot wait!

LET'S ROCK THIS BAND!

Actually a kids cheeseburger with only the smaller bottom half of the bun has become a staple for me. It's just the right amount of food, high Protein, easy to get down, reasonable amount of calories. Kind of high in fat but if the rest of the day balances it that's ok.

Don't beat yourself up!

About the metallic taste, I had that issue too, for about a month after my surgery everything had a funky bitter taste. Thank goodness that has passed :crying:
