Question
· evelynsalzman · 07/16/2012 04:07
My husband and I went out for dinner with an acquaintance. We opted for water over drinks and no appetizers.
I ordered roasted duck leg with lentils and apricots. Yummy! I made a fine choice. The food was fabulous. I have a feeling, though, when my lap band is in, I'll be bringing home more than half of it.
Hey, by the way. Do any of you have problems eating beans or veggies?

Seeking Advice = )

I'm trying to mentally prepare to let go of emotional eating. I know that the lap band is a tool so I'm grateful for that.
How do you all deal with emotional eating?
How do you tackle going out with friends to try a new restaurant or just to socialize?
I'm really looking forward to truly savoring my food. I hate to say it, but I still want to be a foodie.
I just want to be a much healthier and saner foodie.
I've heard of people loosing their taste for some of their favorite foods with the lap band.
Unfortunately, my worst enemy is butter, cream and sugar. Oy vey.
But you know what? I'd still like to enjoy those just in a very modified manner.
I'd like to look forward to them as a treat. I know that now, it will be up to me to really "get my mind right".

After Years Of Lurking, Finally Saying Hello.
· evelynsalzman · 07/13/2012 02:07
Hello everyone,
A few years ago, my husband was approved for and obtained an insurance-approved WLS.
He was banded by Dr. Ren at NYU. This year I am going to be banded by Dr. Lopez in Tijuana, MX at Angeles Hospital. (obviously self-pay)
I'm looking forward to making friends here so that we may help support each other during the good and bad times.
I'm Ev, a former small business owner, currently returning to school to obtain my bachelor's in Secondary Math Ed. I'm excited to share this journey with my husband and with anyone who is supportive.
