I was banded two weeks ago and have been on liquids for three weeks now counting my pre-op diet.  I stuck to the liquids just as I was told and I am suppose to start my soft diet tomorrow.  For the past 4 or 5 days I have been wanting to eat everything in sight.  I'm not feeling hungry--I just want to eat!  So today I gave in and started my soft diet a day early--except everything I ate was not "soft" --like 4 cookies!!!   After I did this I was thinking to myself---I can't beleive I just did that!!!  I guess I just lost it!  I told myself that I will just start with a clean slate tomorrow and not to beat myself up to bad about it but I am.  I guess I am just scared of  failing again tomorrow like I have always done in the past.  Please tell me I'm not the only one who has lost it before!!

Millions of people have slipped up on millions of weight loss programs .. so stop beating yourself.   One day and one event does not make a failure!!

However-jumping to cookies right after surgery, that can't be good for the healing process.   You've taken a giant step in the right direction which tells me you can do this.   

I'm two weeks post surgery also and I know the feeling.    Seems like every commercial is taunting me with food.     I found increasing my liquid intake really helped me curve my appetite.  Next time you  get the urge - reach for a drink - wait 30 minutes and see if its gone.

Good Luck.
