I discovered, today, that I am an emotional eater! Today has been a high stress day for me and I didn't reach for a snack but I sure wanted to. I decided to just drink Crystal Light instead of eat -intake of liquids is not a problem today. I must have been depending on a little ice cream to make things better, all along. Do any of you have the same problem? It is definitely different dealing with life's little issues with food.

Thanks for the reply. That fudgecicle sounds pretty good! I really am pleased that this band is preventing me from this behavior. Stress eating never solves anything-just makes things worse in the long run- I know that but it is almost an automatic reflex to reach for something. I'm looking for a better day today!

Congratulations to you ! You are on the right track! I wish you the best.

Your life sounds very exciting with all the traveling! Do you have any pointers about getting an adaquate amount of protein and liking it? If I have any kind of problem, that's what it will be. So far, I've managed to do OK with the shakes, but it's only been a month since I was banded.

Wow! You are truly an inspiration! I was banded 8/5/08 and already have lost 17 lbs. I hope I do as well as you have.

I was banded Aug 5, 2008 by Dr. Adam Smith. I have done very well with the procedure post op and also with my first fill. I have to admit, being the coward that I am, I was a little worried about the fill. It took about 30 seconds and I was done. The only thing that concerns me is getting enough protein and liking it. I have a powdered protein supplement that has 42 gms. of protein and I can get it down with ff milk, ice, and tang but I would welcome any ideas of what to mix to make it more tasty. I know I will get tired of drinking it on a daily basis.

Thanks for the reply. I will check into the Isopure and the amino acid. Congratulations to you for the amazing weight loss. That is very inspiring since I'm so new at this!

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try it out.
