Beginning to come face to face with my addiction to food..that I never thought I had!

Here's a funny/sick example for you new bandsters that you can relate to, Remember, I'm just 6 days post op, headed to the gym at 3 pm for a little treadmill then on my way to Home Depot and guess what? I felt very hungey cuz I'd only had a cup of broth at 1 pm all day (except for am juice/supplements),, so I stopped at one of Portland's many coffee houses and sternly said to my inner wild child, "now, just get coffee and none of that other stuff (like goodies)" and proceeded inside. "Will there be anything else" said the girl. "Yes, I'll have the lemon sesame cupcake". You see, my "inner food police" has as much authority as Barney Fife so there I sat in my car, first just sampling a mere nibble. Nothing happened. I proceeded to take in larger and larger pieces, lusting for that full in the mouth ecstasy I remembered. Gulp- guess what happened? Just what was supposed to: my band rejected the material and back up it came. I'll spare you the details. It was not so pleasant a sensation. Once this passed, would you believe, I still looked at that muffin (I always eat the top off first) and wondered how I could trick my band and still shove it all in down my gullet?????Gaaawwwdddd! This at least convinced me that, Yes, they actually did install a band in my body, lest I forget that and IT WORKS! I'll keep ya posted guys. Came home and solemnly fixed my humble broth, Warmly, Sufina:tt2:

That first true PB experience is definitely something to be remembered. Mine was at my sister's wedding a few weeks ago. I ate one bite too many and suddenly I sweating, slightly shaking, looking around, trying to be inconspicuous, wondering if I should bolt for the nearest restroom, breath, breath, little sip of Water and finally it subsided..........WOW! - definitely don't want to do that everyday!!

I don't know why, but if there is a chance that I feel like I might be starting down the pb path . . . sipping any Water turns it into a definite. Water does not help me with this at all, it just doubles the intensity.

Does drinking during a potential oncoming pb help or hurt most bandsters?
