Well first off Congrats on your surgery and i completely understand on wanting to eat eat eat. I wished the band could take away cravings as well as it does the hunger. Its all about lifestyle changes and what u want more...The junk food and sweets or to be healthy and thin. I think in time it will get easier. We just have to figure out how to put the cravings in the back of our mind. U could always allow yourself something as long as its a very small portion and u count it in your calories. i wished i had advice of how to take thsm away but i dont. But i do want to let u know youre not alone!!! Im here if u need to chat! My name is maegan btw
