Hi, I was banded Feb11 and am supposed to go for a fill later this week. But today was a crazy day - I've been bingeing since early this morning. First it was a couple of eggs, then some dried apricots, and then a chocolate bar when I went to do some errands. And then later on, when I did some more errands, I gave in a had some turtles (chocolates). Oh ya. Somewhere in there I also ate some cheese. And a chocolate eclair.

I don't know what's wrong with me! I'm not really that hungry, but it was almost as if a huge urge came over me and I just had to eat. It's not like I'm having a bad day, or a really stressful or emotional one. It'salmost been as if I really needed to get in some things that I haven't eaten for six weeks (i.e. pre-banding liquid diet and then post-banding).

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it normal? I've been doing so well - lost 23 pounds in 6 weeks - and I'm kind of worried that maybe this will happen again. And again.

Love to hear from others. Thanks.

Since my first fill a couple of days ago, I've had far less interest. I mean I feel full and the idea of eating anything "extra", while tempting is just not an option. I literally feel like there's no room for anything more! I'm beginning to think this band is going to do what was intended after all... Nonetheless, I can see that I definitely some help of some kind to change my relationship with food. I'm thinking of checking out a group because books alone won't do it for me.
