Do you miss your old eating habits?

[Manatee 4]

I actually DO miss my old eating habits. I know they were unhealthy, but I start thinking about deep dish pizza and a rack of ribs and fajitas and sometime REALLY wish I had never done this.

Then I look at old photos and remember what happened to me when I fell into those habits. I look at my parents who are only 20 years older and wheelchair-bound, and realize that I was headed right there.

I can live with these limits.

Good attitude Manatee,

If I miss a taste of something like pizza, I have a bite of my kids' (much to their delight as you can imagine) A taste is sometimes all I need. I can have a bite of pizza, mostly topping, or a rib or a bite of fajitas. I really don't have to say no to anything.

FORTUNATELY, I have lost my taste for bread, Buns, and the things that are not band-friendly.

Hi Indio: Thanks for all the work you do on this site. I am prebanded but what I read so far I understand that you are a big help here and just wanted to let you know it's greatly appreciated.

I wanted to shoot you a quick question about the 25% that the lap band helps with. What exactely does it help do? Does it decrease appetitie by 25%? Does it remind you to eat slower and stop sooner?

My problem with food is Portion Control and I eat rather healthy but I think I lost the "full" signal a long time ago.

thanks again
