Any food addicts here?

Ditto for what Lipsticklady said. I, too, am a recovering carb addict. I could eat 8-10 bananas a day in addition to my other food. If anything in the fridge had potatoes or noodles in it, I would reach for that first. A piece of toast with Breakfast???? How about 6?

Thank goodness for the 3 month pre-op diet. What I liked was that the NUT wanted access to my myfitnesspal data, so that I had to be accountable. I lost 23 pounds on it as a head start for my sleeve.

Now that I have had my new petite tummy for a month, I know the importance of maximizing the nutrition that I put in that 1/3 cup and 2 tablespoons that I am allowed. Definitely, 4 hours of extreme discomfort is a good penalty for indiscretions.

I had one banana last week and I had to cut it in thirds to last three days. Oh well.

I tried eating half a banana one week post op because my doctor said banana was ok. But he didn't say half a banana. I ate the half, and let me tell you, the penalty was harsh and I didn't so it again. Though the sleeve itself isn't a fix to a food addict, it really is a GREAT tool to help us control this.
