I Started out great, but now I've gone to my bad habits

I'm feeling so down right now. I had done so good. My band was June 24, 2008. I just had my first fill, and I've lost 33 pounds since pre-op, but now, I'm starting to forget to eat protein, and I've had a few chocolate bars today. I'm starting to feel the same way I felt before the surgery, always looking for something to eat.
Please, someone, give me some advice. Has anybody felt this way? Has anyone fallen off the wagon? Can you fall off the wagon with this?

Hang in there, a fill will probably help you and no doubt cut that appetite. This is hard work, no doubt about it, but its doable hard work. We all have days where we dont eat well, and probably always will but that's not important, getting back on the wagon is.

And I've always been an advocate of moderate dieting, as in allowing yourself some of what you crave now and then.

I am sure there will be days of cheating! Thing is, I won't feel bad about them or dwell on it. I will simply get back to the plan. Forgiving yourself and loving yourself is the real battle here.

I cheat. And I forgive, and I try again.

Don't dwell on failure, dwell on success! One good day begets another, and another and another...

Congrats on your weight loss! I am hoping to be able to boast a good loss real soon.
