HMMMMMM There are very few days so far that I regret having the band, but I must say Boxing day I was beginning to wonder. I had a really awful episode about 2 hours after I ate where the pain runs thought my back and through my chest. It may of been foods stuck and i tried everything to dislodge it but no go!! Usually it lasts for a few hours but this bad pain went from 6pm to 4am and I did not get a wink of sleep. My tummy was really swollen and I could not lay on my back or tummy it was a nightmare. I think with all the Christmas excitement and conversation at lunch I forgot about the band and just ate like I usually would (how!!! well it can happen) once you are past the op and everything is healed and you haven't had an episode for a while It seems to creep up on you to remind you that you don't wanna be fat again and reminds you of just how you use to eat... You soon learn to take it easy.
Anyway I'm all good now and I am looking forward to the new year!

Ooohh I had that pain on xmas day after lunch and it lasted for a few hours too - so glad I wasn't the only one!
Hey Beena
Sorry to hear about your nasty episode - I'm sure you've learnt the hard way what your limit is! I have also been bad and haven't started my optifast. I was meant to start on Boxing Day, but have yet to commit to the 3 meals of Optifast yet. I did really well losing 6kg pre Christmas, but must say I've been really naughty since, I only have 17 sleeps to go, so tomorrow I will grin and bare those vile shakes and start the count down to a shrunken liver!
Hope you have a great New Year's.
Em.
