[NOCONTROL 0]

hi everyone! so happy i found this forum!

I was banded a year ago, and at first everything was going gangbusters, and i lost 43 lbs.

but i haven't lost an ounce since xmas, and it's all because of icecream, Soup and other "easy" stuff.

every morning i wake up vowing to only eat by the bandster rule book, and fail miserably by about 11 am.

I there anyone out there in the same boat? Can anyone give me some kind of advice on beating this addicition? please dont give me *#*$&%&:faint:

many thanks in advance

Welcome to LBT! Get the stuff that you are eating out of the house and don't buy it unless you can control how much you eat. If you make it 2 or 3 days of eating good, you will be back on track. Good Luck!

Thanks Harleygirl!

now if i can just stop the car from turning into the land of the oreo mcflurry on my way home tonight...

maybe knowing that i have "squealed" on myself here on lbt, it may motivate me a bit more!

Maybe You Need A Fill To Stop The Cravings. Go See Your Doctor. I've Seen On Another Tread About People Taking Diet pills Phentrimeine (sp?)..to Stop The Cravings..

Hi,

Just curious how it is going? I read your thread and understand where you are. I have been there so many times before the band. I am new with the band, but have seen posts where folks who have been banded for years get back to it and have success. I don't know if this will help, but I had to get to the root of why I am fat. I chose to revisit my childhood and figure out why I ate the way I did. Fortunatly it took 18 months and two denials for me to get approved for the surgery and that time was needed for me to begin to deal with the why. I started by remembering when I started to get fat and moved forward from there. It can be a painful journey, but sooo worth it.

Good luck!
