I guess it is time I really start reading these blogs/forums daily. I am new to this lapband life....I am in my 5th week post-op. I've done well and felt so in control until this past weekend. My first PMS post-band. I have binged 3x trying not to give in and felt like a failure. THank you all so much for sharing and letting me know that I am not alone. Deep breath, read some more tips, journal....and now I shall forget the past 3 days and try to move on. Knowing that I can give in a little bit might just stave off another round of binging. Thanks all for being so honest and sharing your journey!
