reality check after banding

[JeweI 2]

Head hunger is right. If I limit my food intake I last about a day and the following day I feel like I am gonna binge or pig out. My tummy is not hungry, I just feel like I am missing out. I always excuse myself by saying, I don't want this to be wasted or someone took the time to cook this the least I could do is eat it. When truth be told, I want it before someone else gets to it.

I am too a food addict. I thought that I had honestly beat it. I just had a Tummy Tuck and breast lift and had to get a slight unfill before surgery. Since June of 2008 I have been a very good Lapband patient, I've followed the rules religously and it got me to goal in a year. Today I am 11 days plastic surgery post op and I actually ate a cheeseburger. GAHHHHHHHH I haven't had a cheeseburger in over a year and a half!!!! I realize that the band is really what has forced me to lose weight. Here all this time I thought I had control. I admit I was wrong. Thank goodness I have this band to get my butt in gear. I called and made an appt to get a fill put back in! If I can just make it till Thursday without eating all my trigger foods. Good luck and Congrats on your banding!

Good for you. My surgery on 11-23 was difficult too seeing all that holiday food. I ate all I could prior to the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I lost a little over 12 lbs in 3 weeks. Do you have excess gas?

I am a food aholic too. Reality is this is a tool. If we dont use our brains and will power we wont be successful.

All of these posts really help.

Thank you.
