Think I have stuffed up!



Recommended Posts

We went out for dinner last night and I mindlessly drank a rather large glass of red wine without even noticing it!

I am really upset with myself and am now hoping that I haven't stuffed this whole pre diet up.

It has been a huge wake up call for me. How can anyone drink a whole big glass of wine and not even taste it or realise they have drank it! :(:scared2::)

I have tried to call my dietitian this morning, but I'd say that they are closed today.

I don't know what to do!!!!

deal with it and learn from it

you will not do that again

it is easy to forget and drink quickly or eat too quickly

hope you will be okay

bella, if this one glass of wine is really and truly you're only pre-op diet slip up, and you obviously weren't going to surgery this morning, in my opinion, don't sweat it. If nothing else, take a brisk walk tonight to burn a few of those extra calories that you weren't suppose to take in. If this was something you were habitually doing, or you ate a big slice of cake or downed a milk shake, I'd have a different opinion. Just remember how bad you feel today about it, and hopefully, it'll be a lesson learned to think and plan ahead next time you go out for dinner.

Good luck with your surgery. When are you scheduled?

I wanted to add that after you are banded you will not mindlessly drink a full glass of anything

so things will get better

Learn from it Bella and move on. Don't beat youself up over it. I can assure you there are no Saint Banders here. We have all made some mistakes. The thing is not to repeat it and to move on.

Good luck

Thanks for your replies ladies! I am just a bit of a stresser and was really cranky with myself for slipping up.

I have spoken with my dietitian and she said it will be fine and that I can still rid myself of the glucogen (sp??) stores before Thursday.

Hey Kiz - yep Thursday is the big day. I can't wait. I am so sick of being so hungry all the time!

Thanks again everyone,

Bel

I had my surgery on a Thursday too. It worked out well for me. My husband worked from home Friday, and then I had the weekend to recuperate with him home to wait on me..lol

As far as doing something mindlessly, I think most of us have been there. About two weeks after surgery, I was in a grocery store, and they had free samples of bread cut into small cubes. I popped one in my mouth and swallowed, without even thinking about my band. It went down just fine, but it sure made gave me pause that I completely forgot about my band like that.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
