Contemplations on Stress Eating

[weightlossblues 0]

I have a very stressful job and unfortunately have become a real stress eater. The most unfortunate thing is that I give in to my cravings (mostly chocolate). I really want to lose weight and keep it off. Has anyone had lab-band surgery with similar problems? And has the lap band helped? :ranger:

Well, we keep hearing "the band is a tool", and I can certainly attest to that. I know some bandsters post that their food cravings have been eliminated since surgery and others struggle.

I think posting this again in the Lap Band Support area will elicit more response. I know many of us struggle with food issues.

hey weightlossblues; remember that the lap band is only a tool. your stress eating is mental. i will tell you that you won't be able to lose weight and keep it off until you deal with your stress eating. good luck to you
