I have been banded for 3 months. I have gotten to the point that it doesn't bother me anymore. I used to get mad at my hubby for eating ice cream. I would get mad when they wanted to eat out crappy food.

This is a lifestyle change. This is a huge change. I didn't eat with them at first. I would take MY meal and sit in from of the computer and log onto this site and blog and visit forums and try to distract myself into eating slowly. Now I can sit down while with them while they eat because eating what they are eating isn't worth stepping on the Wii fit in the morining and seeing that I gained weight.

When we travel I pack my lunch and know that they will eat at McDonald's on the road. I have to plan for it. That was in the beginning. Now I couldn't get a hamburger bun down if I wanted to. Luckily I don't want to anymore.

You are still a band baby. You are growing. You are learning. Just like our babies have learn to roll over, crawl, then walk... you are learning to handle the challenges of food. The unhealthy food isn't going to go away. Your family still needs to eat. You have to find a way to cook healthy for everyone or eat a different menu than them. One day at a time Yoco. One meal at a time. Eventually you will be running away from the unhealthy food.

I watched my family eat the other night and I couldn't believe the huge GROSS bites they were taking. Those were the bites I used to take. No wonder their meal is gone in 3 minutes. It is amazing how our learned habits really start to take over for us.

Hang in there. It will get easier!

Yes I get upset also. Especially when my husband is eating something really eating something good and he is mmm, mmm, between bites. I never notice her does that until now. When he is eating something I want. Today is going to be a tough day for me. My husband and the kids are going to Applebee's.

No you can do that! Look for chicken breast or order a hamburger and don't eat the bun. You can do it! I LOVE the sizzlin chicken and cheese from TGI Fridays! I substitute more onions and peppers instead of potatoes. It is at least two meals. Box up half before you even start. You can do it!!!!

Hi! I got banded on the same day. The first week was hard but I was losing weight so it didn't matter. Now I feel great and could eat anything I wanted if I let myself(I don't). I am sticking to less than 1000 healthy calories a day and still haven't lost a pound in two weeks. My body is being very stubborn. I go for my first fill on the 12th of Ferbruary. Maybe that will make a difference. Keep me posted.
