I screwed up tonight with my eating but on the other hand, I must say I have been banded 11 days and have lost 10 pounds!!! Now thats incentive to get back on track!

Now you've got the idea!! Keep your spirits up, all the stress that worrying brings is not worth it. One small lapse does not mean you are doomed forever.

The first 10 lbs is now gone! Congratulations, you've officially kicked it into gear!

Keep smiling,

The great thing is, I've found that no amount of post-banding eating can compete with one of my pre-band binges. Even if I splurge and have something bad, it all adds up to an okay day. So long as the good days outnumber the bad and you're getting the Protein in, the weight will drop off!

Congratulations on the 10 lbs!

Just remember you're still healing, so don't eat anything solid AND when you over eat that puts pressure on your new tummy.

Good luck.

Thanks HarleyNana, You are right, I feel like I can eat and without the restriction I guess I wasn't thinking about what culd be happening that I can't feel. This helps. It's weird, but just like my other addictions, I must be reminded of what I forget I know. Thanks.
