Yes..................PRAY,lol. Actually i would be nervous too. Mashed potatos are ok, i think it would benot so good if you put gravy on them. Good luck

We all have days where we will eat something  hats bad for us.  However you dont have to beat yourself up.  Look at it this  way you took the skin off thats a big thing. So Good for you.  As long as you were ok and did not  get sick or have any trouble I think youll be ok.  We have to eat and we are learning  to eat a new way, mistakes will be make and  we will learn from them  so dont be to hard on yourself you will get back on track and the next day was a new start.  Good luck and be happy.

It's going to happen :)  I would be worried about the grease left on the chicken even after you pulled off the skin.  But we live and learn right?  This is a learning process and it won't happen over night.  Let us know if you have bad effects!

Good luck!!  Let us know how it goes.  At least you took off the skin! 

KFC is the only thing thus far that has really caused me any problems. I'm sorry to say... but, taking the skin off of the chicken will quite likely make a difference.

Just prepare yourself by wearing pads, taking along an extra pair of pants, and always going to the bathroom when you feel like you have gas!

Sorry to hear you had problems!  Why not just avoid KFC altogether?  It's fried, and even though you may take the skin off I'm 100% certain that it contains more than 15g of fat.  With these type of TE's you probably wouldn't want to take the risk.  KFC does grilled/roasted chicken instead, doesn't it?

It doesn't matter how motivated and dedicated you are - you're not going to eat well every meal of every day for the rest of your life.  Stop beating yourself up.  Your meal was not terrible.  Just wear a panty liner for the next two days in case of TEs and let it go.  Focus on all of the good food you eat, not just the small slip-ups.  Keep up the good work.

I'm sorry you feel so bad. I was thinking KFC for supper tonight and I was going to do just like you and take the skin off the chicken. I'll opt for something else now.

I understand your feeling..I ate some chinese food and when the effects of loose bowl and oily spot. Lesson learned for me no more chinese food. But so far so good. Just pick up where you left off.

AWWW THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!ACTUALLY I FEEL FINE,JUST HAD SOME OIL SPOTTING(GROSS I KNOW!)BUT OTHER THEN THAT I FEEL FINE.TODAY IM GONNA B EXTRA CAREFULL!MY MOM IS GONNA MAKE SOME REALLY GOOD MEAT FOR DINNER TODAY,BUT SINCE I WAS BAD YESTERDAY I'LL JUST GET A GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD FROM MCDONALDS,IT ONLY HAS 9 GRAMS OF FAT!!WELL ONCE AGAIN THANKS EVERYONE!

Does anyone know how long the "the effects" last? It's been 48 hours since I took my last pill I have had the most horrible abdominal pain I have ever had in my life and havent been able to leave the bathroom.. I didn't take the pill before I ate the bad food.. I took it with my lunch then skipped dinner because I knew I would be eating foods high in fat.. I have never felt this bad in my life.

Hang in there. I had a rough few first days when I started taking the pills last week.  It was the food I was eating and I didn't realize that it would affect me so much. I've been keeping on track for the past week and lost 7lbs already!! It's a learning process for us all. I never knew how much fat I was eating until I  started keeping a journal. One thing I learned with eating out is really looking the menus and finding stuff lower in fat. Good Luck and keep going!! It will get better!!!!!!

sally2223, you have no idea how glad i was to just read your post!  i needed that "your not going to eat well every meal of ..."  i went to popeyes wanting to get some etouffee cause the calorie/fat counts weren't too terrible.  well, the one by me didn't have the stuff!  GRRRR  so, i opted for the catfish...oooops.  the calories i can live with - it was the fats.  18 grams per two pieces of fried fish.  oh well...it was good and i hope if i do have TE's tomorrow i'll remember that!  lol

i have been sooooooo good since 30 june and really been watching what i put into my mouth.  i've lost 3.4 pounds so i guess having one meal and being bad isn't gonna kill me. 

thanks again for your words...they helped!
