Feel like the band is making me a bulimic!

What is wrong w me? I am having a terrible time giving up the emotional comfort eating gives me. I find myself eating more than my band can handle and spitting it back up. I did not do this bf I got the band - I would just binge and food was my friend. I know this is wrong and I am feeling so discouraged! Should I get my band removed or do I need to give it more time and hope I will adjust.

Honestly if I was you, I would seek out some counseling and lean here for support as well. Being a food addict is like any other addiction, there is no magic pill (or band in our case) to stop it.

I agree with counseling. You're one of those the psych eval was supposed to catch and help, I think! Anyway don't let it go on....call your doc tomorrow and get a recommendation to a therapist who can help with eating disorders. I can tell you I didn't get to 405 by not every having issues with food, so you aren't alone, or a failure. Get help!
