As time goes on, we will be able to eat more....its taking what we have learned over the last few months, and returning to it.....I LOVE that you threw the crackers away!!! I did that the other day with chocolate...I KNEW if it was sitting there, it would bother me...so in the trash it went!! You'll get back on track Edie....you realize what you are doing now...and you know what to do to fix it....don't fret!!

Ok Figuring My Total Calories For The Day How The Hell Was I Able To Get Near 1490????? I Did Noticed The Crackers And Meatloaf Since I Ate So Much Of It Killed Me With The Calories.

I Just Hope I Can Fix It!!!!! In The Past Pre=op I Knew What I Did Wrong But Did What I Wanted To Anyway. Im Really Scared

[Kenyar]

you can fix it. believe you can and will.

doubt your pouch is stretched out, maybe relaxed a little..but that said, it's sooo possible to push more food through than you realize, especially if you go a long time without eating, or eat in a way that lasts like an hour-ie: little bite by little bite for an hour's time, or even by sipping water along with the food..

it happens..but don't beat yourself up about it!!

hey boots..

i havenot had my surgery yet.. january 9th.. next week!! BUT i think even when you havenot had surgery everyone knows what its like to feel outa control... these past few days i have gained 2 lbs back of the 23 i lost.i am SO DISGUSTED WITH MYSELF! and i am soooooooooooooo afraid after surgery i will be THE ONLY wls patient that doesnot lose weight!! LOL...i think it must just be a fear EVERYONE has,whether u have had surgery or not... but i would guess more so after having had surgery..i will be able to tell u AFTER i get mine done!! i saw your pictures u have posted and you look UNBELIEVABLE!! i guess my "rookie" advice would be just refocus yourself. My wls team keeps telling me this is just a tool not a fix all... i can only hope i do as well as you have done... whats done is done... cant undo it,, so just start fresh..perfect day to do that!!!! happy new year!!
