i ate potato chips!!!! :-(

omg.  i went between work and an appt to a coffee place where i usually hang out before the appt.  instead of getting coffee i got a bottle of still water AND a small bag of potato chips.  i was just so hungry and craving something salty and crunchy.  i only ate 1/2 the bag and then threw them away.  they tasted so good and i had no adverse effects.  except i'm so ashamed of myself.  i seem to be having such a hard time eating right and not letting myself get hungry and choking down yogurt and not being able to drink protein drinks.  i'm so disappointed with myself.

i have an appt with the NUT on Tuesday after work, so maybe that will help.  dunno.

what am i going to do with myself!!!  i feel like the worst vsger ever!!!!!  :-(

Don't beat yourself up... It's all about "moderation"... Start to worry if you plowed through a 1 lb bag, threw up and did it again, and again... Ummmmmmm... state of grace.... Ummmmmmm....  You'll be fine...

What he said,  don't worry yourself too much as long as you don't make this a habit.  You are pretty early out to be eating chips though.  I would pack a protein bar or string cheese, some sleeve friendly snacks so you can have that instead of going for the chips. 
There will be plenty of time in the future to have a few chips so don't get into that again so soon.
Work hard to make this successful early and learn those new habits to live with.  Too much work went into getting the sleeve so make it worth the trouble. 

Sounds like I am being a ***** in that last paragraph.........not meaning to,  just saying......get back on track,  no harm done,  just try not to lose focus on the prize....step back next time and grab that protein bar or other good snack for those moments when you are looking at that bag of chips. 

We have all been in the same place,  we have all had that snack that we should not have had and felt the same way you do now so next time stop and think about if it is really worth it.
Good luck with all that.

awww Anna dont feel bad for allowing yourself a guilty pleasure from time to time. The last poster is absolutely right...its all about moderation and not about forever depriving oneself of anything carb. As long as you arent doing this everyday-through out the day and sabotaging your success and intake of protein then there should be no quilt. I didnt check to see when you had your sleeve done but hopefully you chewed that chip real well and got it nice and soft before sending it down to your belly...for your belly's health, thats the only thing I would really worry about. Have a great day and dont worry...be happy :)

I wouldnt beat yourself up over it, we arent perfect. Besides tomorrow is another day that you can get back on track. I think we will all mess up from time to time, its a part of life. Move on, get over it and realize you are only human! Good luck on your journey

Why do those damn chips go down so easy?  My weakness is kettle chips.  I know I shouldnt eat any but I try to get the small 100 calorie bags and only eat one.  Pretzels are the same.  Try to stay away from them if you can.  You are not the worst vsger, a lot of us still eat the wrong foods.  Nobody is perfect and tomorrow is a new day!

No, no you are not the worst VSGer ever. We all have slip ups and cave ins. Just get back on track and don't beat yourself up about it. If you do you may find yourself reaching for those naughty things even more. 

PLEASE be careful!  You are so early out, and your staple line is still healing.  You could do real damage to yourself by eating something crispy ... and crappy :-) ... at this point.  I know it is hard, but you MUST follow your surgeon's eating plan to a tee, not only to lose weight but to protect your healing stomach.  Please take good care of yourself.

My dear its just one day and one (1/2) bag of chips.  That fact that you posted it says that you are already in correction mode. 

Its done plan on a good item to keep handy, ICE (In Case of Emergency).

You will do fine!!!

I'm with everyone else.  None of us are perfect, and we're all going to mess up from time to time.  As long as we don't make habits of it.  One of the things people do on diets is when they do "mess up" they will then think that the rest of the day is a wash and decide to mess up for the rest of the day.  And then, they might think of messing up the rest of the week and starting over.  However, when we mess up like that, we need to realize that it's OK, and move on.  And not let it influence how we do on our next meals.

1/2 bag and throwing it away is a victory in itself actually (unless it was a family size bag!)  It wasn't too long ago that I could eat a big bag of chips, plus!
