It's really been a mind game.... or should I say a willpower issue with me because, before when I was afraid to overeat, I wouldn't dare do it! As soon as I realized that I could overeat and not fall dead, I started to overeat! lol! So, I've made up my mind to work with this band. It's only here to help/aid me by holding off the hungry feeling for a period of time. It can't choose the foods that I eat,it can't stop me from eating just to be eating and it certainly can't make me exercise. Once I realized ALL of this, I saw this whole surgery in a different light. I think I got a little spoiled when I lost weight in the beginning and didn't have to lift a finger! I truly have a new respect for my lap band and we are now working together as a team. When I stop losing weight, I felt that the band was just sitting there waiting for me to meet it 1/2 way! lol!
