I sincerely appreciate your honesty! I have gotten myself back on track and I am trying hard to keep that binge behavior in the past. Thanks for responding and letting me know I am not alone.

Thank you for sharing with me. I feel a little better now knowing I am not alone.

Does anyone else feel the way I do? I am currently going through the nutrition portion of my preop. I have 2 more sessions to go. Initially, I did really well with losing the required weight that I needed to. Now I have crept back up and gained some but did manage to drop down 2 pounds to basically my starting point. I feel like Mrs. Pac-Man -- I know I have to follow my eating guidelines, but it is almost like I am in a panic to eat everything I can so that I don't miss anything. The problem is that I don't feel good about it afterwards and I am down on myself for acting like this. I keep saying today is a new day, but I end up messing up either with portion control or eating the wrong stuff. I wonder if I will every be able to get back on track. Is this a normal feeling or am I the only one who is doing this?????? Please help! Thank you, Lori:unsure:

Hi everyone! I just joined the site today. I have been watching you all for the past few months since I decided to get banded. I am really lame when it comes to forums and such, as I am not that savvy...Hopefully I will learn as I go. Please bare with me through this learning process. I am open for any suggestions to make this journey easier as well. Thank you, Lori
