I think that you are doing the right thing by telling your doctor what is going on. They can't help if they don't know.

It's hard to develop all of the new habits we're supposed to have. Be patient with yourself. You can do it!

HI,

I'm glad your telling your doctor to, they can help you and don't be embarrassed, it takes a stronge person to face the music and it's will be a start of a new start, and keep us posted on how things go, you could help someone else on here that maybe in the same boat. I hope you didn't slip your band, but sounds like you would know it, people who that happened to, say it's pretty painful. hang in there and just try to do what the doc advices you.

Yes, talk to your doctor. Also keep in mind if you are eating when you are full, your are at serious risk of stretching your pouch, doing this over and over again will eventulayy stretch your pouch out. Throwing up over and over, can eventually cause a slip. Just think of the reasons you had the surgery, try and focus on your goals. Also, eat - eat at work, don't let yourself get too hungry, I seem to binge too when I let myself get too hungry. You can read my experience I just typed out today in my journal - it talks about this very thing.

Best wishes, let us know what the doc says.

I'm also glad you're telling your doc. I'd suggest you try contacting your Psych as well as they can help you through why it's happening and deal with the food issues. We all have food issues or we wouldn't have ended up fat. Hang in there and get the help you need now. -BG
