i had a bad day
Today i got upset with my Ex and I went straight to Taco Cabana. Had half an enchilada dinner. Stopped when I felt like puking. Gave the rest to my dog. Ended up eating one and a half enchiladas, two flour tortillas, three bites of rice and three or four bites of beans. Felt bad for a while, til it went thru me. Now I feel guilty. I looked up the calorie content. Not good. What do you do when you get mad?? I recognized the only time I rush to eat is when I am upset with him. It was too cold to walk, but I past right by my gym. Looking back on the day I took my dog to have an excuse as to why I won't be able to stop there. I am frustrated because I have no restriction with 2cc's. I go back to the dr on jan 18th.

I am sorry you had a bad day. They happened to everyone. Key is to find something that allows you to get your anger/frustration out w/o eating unwisely.
So you know gym would have been a healthy way to work out the issue but maybe you could look at something you enjoy. A hobby or something that you can do when times get stressful and if you don't feel like going to the gym/working out.
I would also suggest a therapist. If EX is going to be in your life still it may help to talk with someone who can give you professional advice as to how to handle those emotions. If not for the EX issue but also eating and emotionally eating as well.
I am seeking out a therapist b/c I know I need to have help for times and for overcoming my issues with food and weight.

It's hard to control the emotional eating some of are used too. I do the same thing. I've been trying to control it but there are days where you just want to rip open a bag of chips and eat it all. So far I have been good but now that I'm able to eat more or less normal I have to watch myself. I think it's just part of the process. I want to say when it does happen to me I'll just go for a walk or something but I'm not promising anything. 
For the time being just learn from the experience and try again next time to not eat out your frustrations.

Realize Band 11/2009 ... revision to RNY 12/27/11. 
Juliatettleton,
Unless you're friends with Doctor Emmett Brown, the only thing you need to realize (no pun intended) is that "what happen happened, and you can't change it - move on" !! You were bad, you recognized it, now you need to think "forward".
When things like this happen, I stop and say WWSPD (What Would Skinny People Do)? Basically, Skinny people have bad days. Days when the cheat. The important thing is - what they do when that happens. They begin the following day as a new day, and maybe decrease their eating and/or increase their exercise for a few days. They don't dwell on it. That's what you need to do.
As for restrictions - each person is different when they feel restriction. Realize has 2 different size bands (9cc and 11cc) and it may take more cc's to get the restriction. Plus each person is different. 3 ccs for one person can be as restrictive as 9 cc's for another. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE NUMBER it's only a number
Good luck - and know I am here if you need

Well, it's over right. What's done is done. Don't kick yourself while your down, just start a new day. Look at this as a learning point. You've got to find a new outlet when you get angry. I have no clue what to suggest, but you can do it. Meditate, drink some water and deep breaths? LOL I know they sound dumb. You don't want to hurt yourself over you ex anymore, you are worth more then that so don't let him chase you to a drive thru anymore. I know it's corny, but I tell myself "I CAN DO THIS" all the time. Yep, I have to actually say it, and it's always when I want to grab something bad or sweet. It helps because it reminds me of the surgery and all I have done so far and it's like a kick in the butt saying you REALLY can do it. Hang in there. Tomorrow is a brand new day.
Good luck with your fill next week, I hope it will get you some restriction. If it don't, well, you are one fill closer. :)
