Some days I think I really wish I would have had gastric bypass. Then I think about some of the people I know that had it done and they are still struggling as well. But, at least they get to GOAL before they have issues (or at least it seems like they do). I would be paranoid about the long term damage RNY would be. Unless they come out with something to fix the addiction/brain part of it, I am just gonna have to fight it my whole life the hard way. Band or no band, I can gain or lose. True, it is easier with the band but that too can be sabatoged. Found that out the hard way. So much BS going through my brain. BUT, I am about to go to the grocery store and I will buy sugar free ice cream this time instead of the real stuff. I will buy some sunflower seeds instead of cookies and chips. I can do this...I have to fix me before it gets to where I feel like it is not fixable anymore.

But that's the plus of LB...it forces you to deal with all the issues as you lose, not after. You'll be that much more prepared for the maintenance...that's why we LB'rs don't usually gain some back. Sucks now, but the payoff...all worth it...and yeah, I wish a 'headband' came with it too. Best wishes! -BG

I am just babbling too!! "Head band" I want one of those. LOL I just do not listen to myself anymore "Head Hunger" you know what I mean). Everyone was eating ice cream sure I wanted some, sure it would taste good, But I will feel like crap after I ate it. Today I choose not to feel like crap. Tomorrow may be different. Today I eat a little to be LITTLE. imaluckydog just wanting to be little someday. ;-)

Best wishes to all and to all a good night

Losing it again is hard...I have already lost it once, was 4 lbs from goal...(my goal anyway). Oh well, I did it once, I will do it again. Just alot harder this time, head wise. I wish they sold that newbie determination in a bottle ... now THAT would be a long line! lol
