To much of a good thing

[kassy_360 3]

I did ok @ Thanksgiving, over ate a little but not insane. Little did I know that was gonna be the best day out of the next 5. I called 1st thing Monday morning and told them I was eating anything not nailed down. I had 6 cc's in a 14 cc band and had been 3 weeks prior and they woudnt fill (down too much). So I make an appt. for Tues AM .. as I suspected was up a pound and was feeling out of control w/ eating. She filled with another 1.25cc's. Didn't seem like much .. well it's now Thurs PM and I still doing a mushie dinner .. having issues w/ solids. lunch I did tiny tiny bites of meatloaf kind of buried in mashed sweet potato. I'm hoping this fill will mellow out just a tiny bit as I really don't want to unfill. I'm not starving, I'm not vomiting. definately some stuckage but am gonna try modifying to mushies thru the weekend and see how the weekend goes. I don't have a full restriction feeling the restriction seems to be more of what I can get down without it being very uncomfortable... if that makes any sense.

I know you how feel. Sometimes I just can't stop eating everything (and anything). Its like an alien takes over my body. I have decent restriction I think so whenever I'm on a binge, I eat sliders. I actually started with a therapist yesterday who specializes in Binge Eating Disorder. I love my band, and it has helped me tremendously, but I need my brain/emotions to catch up with my body. Maybe try speaking to someone? Is there a eating disorder therapist on staff at your doctor's office or bariatric program? I wish I had started therapy before I got my band, as I think I wouldn't have gained back 50 pounds. But everything is a learning experience. Good luck!
