Ok so I know I need to do this but being a food addict it is hard to think I will never be able to eat like I once did when i really liked something. Now I know that is why I am fat but was anyone else scared like I am. :thumbup: I have neer had a major surgery so that adds into my trepidation. It would really help to know others felt this same way and how you dealt with these thoughts! I get banded on Monday the 27th. I have no doubt that this will be the best decision of my life but I am very worried. I am worried that I will look like a freak when I am out eatting (eventually) because I don't eat as much as others. I am not married so eventually dating will come into play and that of course worries me. I guess I am making a big deal and thinking that other people are going to be playing so much attention to what I eat. Any advice?
