Please tell me i'm not the only one who broke the rules this early

I've been following my dietician's orders to a TEE! losing weight, feeling great....

well, i'm a monster the past couple days... my p-flow is fast approaching, and my hormones are all screwy. i am craving food HAAARD and when i saw a small bag of sour cream and onion chips on my counter today...without even thinking twice i scarfed 5 chips. WHY? why did my 5 weeks of eating right, sticking to the plan, completely not register as soon as i saw them??

not only that.. i ate a square of dove milk chocolate two days ago. ugh.

please tell me i'm not the only one who f'ed up this early. i'm only 5 weeks! am i falling into bad habits already, or am i just being crazy??

I'm suprised you didn't dump....I haven't had my surgery yet, so, I don't have room to talk but, I do know that no one is perfect. Your gonna have days like that; just make sure to get back on track ASAP....you can do it !!!

the chocolate actually made my heart race for a couple minutes. that, at least, scared me to not eat more again.

but the chips... i had an initial gurgle in my tum and that was it. i WI**** made me poop my pants.. straight up. i want to dump everything horrible so i never think it's ok to eat it :(

Poop your pants....lmao

lol

I had my RNY on 6/15 too, I had a small ice cream last weekend...my heart did the racing thing...and thats enough to keep me away from it.

I also tried some chips, all dressed flavor ( my fav. before surgery) and although it didn't make my heart race it didn't make me feel GREAT...so again, enough to keep me away for awhile....Its okay to have a few things. "Normal" weight people eat chips.....just remind yourself that. Jus****ch your calorie intake, exercise and make sure you are reaching your protein goal!

My Dr. didn't give such specific food plans and I did not see a nutritionist. I have bites of bad food but just one bite. I don't dump and I feel satisfied with one taste. Of cource I did stall for 3 weeks. Ok forget everything I said. Stick to your plan...

Compulsive eating is a hard habit to break.  I'm the first to admit that I'm guilty of it on more than several occasions.  

I tell people that my surgery was the easy part...the hard part is the mental relationship I have with food.  The only thing I do is take it day by day, hour by hour.....We are all going to screw up but the important thing is to recognize it and try to do better the next time around.  

Good luck!

Make sure you are holding yourself accountable for what you are eating - you need to be focused on meeting nutritional goals and you really dont have space to 'waste' at this point.
Sugar is the WORST thing you can eat... seek out people who struggle to maintain their loss and you will see many eat/drink sugar... its really a slippery slope.
Nobody is perfect and we ALL eat things we 'shouldnt'... its really a matter of holding yourself accountable and make sure you are making CONCIOUS decisions - like you eating the chips... you scarfed 5 and didnt even know it - enjoy your food... look at it, feel it, smell it, taste it and enjoy it... you will find you eat a lot less or can get satisified from smaller amounts.
This is a process and it will take time... surgery doesnt 'fix' the brain - that is up to you.... you have 1+ years of hard work in front of you to make the changes necessary... as long as you keep working and changing then you will be a success... each day is a new day and dont let one 'mistake' lead to another and another... just get back up and keep on trying.
