I totally understand where you are coming from. I had surgery in February and still do not have any problem eating pretty much anything I want. It is hard to stop the bad eating when it goes down so easy. I have an 11 cc band and finally have 8.5 cc filled. Still think I need a little more. I am forcing myself to quit eating and giving the band time to do the work. The way I understand it is I am only supposed to eat a 1/2 cup and then quit. I am frustrated because it has taken so long to get to this point. I have only lost 27 lbs. I actually gained back 6 last month. It is hard to stay focused. I have started walking 30 minutes every day to see if that will help me move forward. I was exercising and got sick and then it is hard to get restarted.
