Yah that stuck feeling is the worst! Yah swear you'll never do it again but.......... ya forget and it happens again!

I have always wondered why people would even want to cheat the band. We all went thru a lot just to get it, well I did anyhow. I go to support group meetings and one girl told me that she cheated with the band and ended up getting the bypass so that girl went thru two surgeries. Now how stupid is that.......whoops should not have said stupid but that is the way I thought. I did tell her that I have not eaten any bread since my band and she did tell me not to start eating it because that is when it went all down hill for her. So, no bread and I don't miss it one bit. And yes, that first stuck feeling was the worse and scary. I almost had my husband take me to the ER but I just walked and bent over the sink and it finally went down. I am learning to put just a little on my plate even though the fat girl in me is telling me to eat more and I am satisfied. It is amazing how little you eat and feel so full. I love my band and I know it is a life change and when I get those 100lbs off me, it will be wonderful and well worth it. You have a great day and I hope other people read your blog because those who cheat should not even be on here.

i have had a piece of toast but it scared me the whole time. It wasnt that enjoyable. I am finding Im not enjoying food as much. I dont want to cheat the band. I want to be successful.

People who cheat the band aren't mentally ready for the band.
