Hello All I was banded on May 26th and am struggling following the rules. Like drinking well eating and no Pasta. But worse of all I am finding my self eating even though I am not hungry, and then i leave my self feeling so sick I feel the food is seating in the throat. I got my first band fill on july 6th and fell the restriction, but i continue to eat more then i know i should. I have always know I have issues with food, I eat when Im happy sad and every other excuses out there. But right now I cant seem to stop eating. I got this surgary to avoid health problems and provide a better life for my daughter, but I really dont know how to handle this. i am so scared I went through all of this and it will not work. :sad:

Thank you for the replies, I feels better knowing that others are facing the same problems. I have been debating attending an overeaters anoyomus meeting. I think this could help. It is a struggle. Im not sure if it will help or not, but i do know when i attended weight watcher meeting i was very succesfull and the minute i stopped going i put back on the weight. If that does not work I will probaly look into a doctor. I also read from another post about a book that can help that im going to order. I am more hopeful today then yesturday, but likeyou said it is a day by day hour by hour thing.

Hello All I have join this site hoping to find some people ging through the same issues as me, and for support in this new life i have began. I am Rita I live in Stafford Va, I got my band placed on May 25th and I have been learned everyday since. I just recieved my first band fill on tuesday. I am feeling full all of the time. Which i thought would be good but in reality it feels weird. I have been feeling alone in the world as well.

Thanks for all the posts it is good to know I'm not alone in this. I have lost 26 pounds to date, and it does feel great. I am starting to notice a difference in my clothes. I have been working out a few times a week and can now run 2 miles with out stopping. But the last few days after the fill have been a little rough. I have been just trying to get my Protein in. Yesterday i did not and i really felt weak.
