Lost&FoundinVA

I, too had the same problem during the first two weeks post op and every now and then it still creeps up on me. "Out of sight, out of mind" really does work. I would eat dinner and immediately try to think of something else to eat. I realized that if I truly wanted to make this a lifestyle change that I needed to stop this behavior. So I made myself realize that I was actually full from dinner and preoccupied myself with something else. After a while I totally forgot about the idea of wanting something else to eat. I feel more in control of things which is such a liberating feeling. Before surgery, I always felt trapped and controlled by the cravings.

Hi Everybody, I just got banded on 1/8/08 and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Rosemary and have joined lapbandtalk for information, support, and friendship. I went through BeLiteWeight to facilitate the banding process and flew to Detriot, Michigan to have the surgery the beginning of this month. Dr. Matthew Weiner performed my surgery and I couldn't be any happier. One of the best things that came out of this whole experience was that I met a fellow bandster from this message board who was also getting banded by the same Doctor on the same day just before me. I have about 80 pounds that I want to lose and keep off forever and I look forward to sharing this journey wiith everyone here.
