Need advice--from band to bypass???

The best thing you can give yourself is a few months of counseling. You need to learn why you have the habits you do. You can learn to come to terms with it and make some healthy choices and create healthy habits.

It you truely want to change the outside....you got to find out what is truely going on with you on the inside.

Thanks for your concerns -- there is a good possibility that counseling may help me. I do take Paxil for depression, and feel like it does a good job; however, I don't know why I "lose control" sometimes, in the food aspect of life. My portions are very well controlled, but I make bad choices. I am trying really hard to eat Protein first just because I know that's the hardest for me to get in and I am exercising for 1 hour 2 days a week. I need to drink more Water. Basically, I know what I need to do, I just don't do it, and the frustrating thing is I don't know WHY I don't do the right things.

BTW, my surgeon called and said he would do a revision from the band to the bypass on me. He wants me to start with the psych eval again, and I think that's a great idea. I go to see the psychologist next week.

Keep me in your thoughts - I appreciate the concern.
