I am curious. I know I have an eating addiction (don't we all). I have my first consultation next week for the band. My question is: Do you still want to consume more food even though your pouch is full? I can be an emotional eater. Do you feel like consuming food and then get frustrated with your body saying no, or do you feel as though you don't want food anymore? I am getting mixed messages from other people's threads. Some say they don't even want the food they're cooking and others seem to struggle with stopping. Any input on this? :help:

Thanks! I know that the weight loss part will be great for me. It's the strong relationship I have with food, that I will worry will be a problem for me in maintaining the weight loss in the future!

I'm really sorry to hear about this. I need to hear these types of things because I think people get so caught up in this idea that this will save them from everything and you're still the same person in the end... now with a tool under your skin that you can use or not. I guess a good way to look at this would be, that if you mentally got set to challenge your relationship with food, you'd have something already inside (literally) to help you do it. I'm really afraid of this being a problem for me. I have such a strong relationship with food and tastes and it's such a part of my life. I'm really going to have a struggle with this.
