Hey.... I think you need to relax.... You're just having a bump in the road. Stop and regroup... If you need to you can even do Clear Liquids for a day, like when you get a fill..... Let your body rest from the little splurge it's been on and then just start again..doing the right things you know to do. Do you have a family to cook for or are you on your own? It's always so much easier if you don't have to worry about feeding other people... You'll be fine!! Just do what you know you need to do and you'll be losing again soon.. good luck.......Julie

Just think, it is now in the past. Try and learn from the weekend, look at where you made bad choices and have a plan in place for next time. Focus on solid foods and water. As I am texting this I am also taking to myself as I had a doozy of a weekend. I am going to try and have a plan of attack for next time. Just keep trying, every mistake is a chance to learn something new.

Hey on friday I weighted 187.6 On Monday I was 189.4, so I sort of freaked till I remembered one, I was constipated for two days LOL and I had a small bowl of Beef Stew. So today back on track and will weigh my self on Friday. Just want to keep it at the 187 or so and lose more next week. As long as I can control the eating it will work.

Don't beat yourself up....just remember that every day is a new one to start over with.

I had the same thing happen. Big wedding this weekend so there was non stop things to be trying and eating and drinking. Now that I am back home things are almost back to normal. I was jet lagged but got back on the tred mill anyway. (not that I didn't groan the whole time) :grouphug:

Just believe in yourself and what you believed when decided to get the band. You will do great!

      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.
