I am about 13 days from surgery and I am beginning to get beyond nervous and freaked out....I am worried the surgery won't help me.
I think it would really help me if I knew what other people's eatting habits were before getting banded? The reason I ask is I guess other people's negative comments have begun to eat at me. They say that I don't over eat all of the time and binge eat when emotional (upset, sad, angry, etc) and that the surgery won't really help me.
I do admit that I use food as a punishment & reward. If I don't eat breakfat & lunch then I feel like I have "accomplished" something but then for dinner I over-eat, not junk but a bigger piece of meat, extra potatoes, etc because I am so hungry. And then I feel bad and start over again the next day.
I hate to post such a sensitive question but I really need to know please! Was anyone else like me? And if so has the band helped you?
BTW I am 5'2" and weigh 203 and want to lose 80lbs.
Thanks
Jes
