How long have you been banded? almost 10 months

What do you eat each day? anything I want - no tortillas, or VERY spicy/hot foods though

Do you feel its worth it? Im going with Estela... somedays I do, somedays I don't. I truly thought the band would magically make me NOT hungry. But Ive realized that Im overweight because Im bored, or stressed out, or very tired - and these different emotions make me want to eat. So in essence, the band does its job - cause Im very seldom hungry!

I just have to do my part - and find other things to do in emotional times other then eat.
