We've been so used to inhaling, gulping, shoveling, (storing in our cheeks) food for so long, it was an easy slip. so easy. I have to remember to take small bites even with a baby spoon. Right now I worry about planning the days meals,enough prooein, veggies, starches, the timing of the meals.. enough liquids, and then to handle the days stresses, yea, its a big juggle..
The biggest thing is that you realized your error and felt the reprocussions, and you arent likely to do that again (at least for a while) I love your posts girl!

the shoulder pain can be like a real bad toothache! try a heating pad!

PS: I am 2.5 years out, 5 pounds below the cutoff for normal BMI wearing a size 6 and just never going to torture myself like that agin...

Well no one seems to have a ticker any more so its hard to tell where people are in this process. I dont want to sound mean but it just looks like you are on a diet and I just no longer believe in that! I didnt get the band to eat like that...I have pretty tight restriction and eat very small quantities of any and every food...I dont log anything or look at calories and I dont really exercise...your plan sounds like torture I could never keep up with! Not sure what your band is doing for you!

Its so great that you now have the support you longed for! We can all support you here, but there is nothing like the support (or lack of) from a family member. I know its hard with the cake, but remember the band allows you to have everything in moderation, try having a portion much smaller than a portion you would usually have. But if you think that will set you on a rampage (I cant have stuff like that around without it callllllling me!) then maybe you better stay away!
