sweety if we COULD control ourselves

we wouldn't need the band

talk to Doc and see what he says

I bet what you're going through right now a bunch have.. shoot I even could

just hang it'll be good

I can bet my socks on it

In the mean time take 10 deep breaths

like big deep breathe in, count to 3 and slowly exhale through your mouth making an ahhh sound

just concentrate on your breathing

by that time it'll pass

if not find some sugar free pudding ASAP..

lemme know how it goes

are you still doing protein shakes at all of all real food? I feel so bad for you, I can totally imagine how frustrated you must feel. Keeping u in my prayers...hang in there.

I do Protein shakes for breakfast - although the last week I have been just drinking V8 juice for breakfast, trying to cut out some calories anyway I can. I eat solids - mostly, I am just still hungry afterwards.

Now I am PMSing, so this blows royally.

Now I want chocolate, I mean, I want Chocolate NOW!

put your hand on your belly and feel your port.

Now why did you get the band?

Rub the port.

Why do you want this to work?

Rub your port.

What are you going to do to make this work?

You get it, try to link the physical, the port/band with the mental.

Good luck.

when i was like 5 years old i was really over weight so my Dr had my mom make me drink 16oz of water before i eat every meal. sometimes i would be so hungry, well ready to eat, that i would chug the water then i would reel really bloated and not even want to eat. that wasn't very good but the point is is that the water took up that space. it doesn't work for me now i eat any way and then feel super miserable after but maybe it might work for you. i know your not suppose to drink while eating or for like an hour afterwords but i don't know about before.

also Hershey's sugar free chocolate pieces are really good they don't even taste sugar free and they are a lot less calories. also if you want to try something thats really good (it isn't chocolate tho) its big red jello cake!!! you can get everything that goes into it sugar free except for the cake mix its self i haven't yet found sugar free cake mix. if you want i can give you the recipe

I would love the recipe!

I try to drink a bottle of water before each meal - although, this week I haven't really done that. I do think it helps, I will start with that again.

what you need:

yellow cake mix

2 cups of diet big red

1 box sugar free jello (strawberry is best cherry works to)

1 tub or sugar free coolwhip

1 box sugar free vanilla pudding

bake the cake as normal. when the cake is done let cool then stab it to death with a fork. make as many holes as possible with out it falling apart. put one cup BigRed in a sauce pan and boil mix in jello packet. after the jello has liquefied pour over the cake then fallow up with the other cup of BigRed. let all of that cool and set up in the fridge.

toping- mix the coolwhip and vanilla pudding in a bowl using a mixer works better than doing it by hand but use what ever you got. add about 1/3 of a cup of milk to the pudding and coolwhip mixture it will be runny so keep beating it until it get creamy then let it set for a few minutes it will thicken. it might not look like it will cover the cake but it will it always does.

the jello sets up and you cant even tell its jello. it doesn't look or feel like jelly at all its really good and it makes the cake moist! the topping isn't too sweet either its the perfect compliment to the cake! i use to make it all the time for people at work.

Yumm! I can't wait to try it.
