Don't like being in a house that is packed with food that I can't eat...

It gets easier, I promise!!

I have all kinds of stuff in the house that I no longer eat, but my family does. It doesnt bother me any more.

double post

I have a thin husband who can eat anything and he does. I just choose not to touch anything I know I can't control.

Once I make up my mind, I have no problems. I'm also working on emotional eating by working in my yard.

I understand completely. For me it is a lot harder to say no to the 2nd (or 3rd or 8th) than it is to say no to the first bite!

Thanks to everyone that posted.. I need to start buying more things that I can eat...

I felt the same way it was frustrating. Since I'm the one whole usually does the grocery shopping I just don't buy junk. My kids and hubby learned to adjust. They still bring home candies and chips but I have my alternatives like fiber one bars and pop chips. I usually just want to taste it and I'm satisfied

I haven't even gotten banded yet and I am already feeling the pressure of having things in the house not to eat.

Soon after banded I realized a lot if the junk we had in our house couldn't go down so great. So, a lot of this stuff will steer you away from it naturally. Plus, you will be so stoked about the weight loss journey that hopefully you won't touch it. I still have a couple bites of chips. But that's about all I can eat vs. the whole bag before I was banded.

I'm in the same boat!

My family thinks that after surgery my appetite cravings just magically go away! They buy pizza, chips, cookies etc etc.

LOL I guess I can't blame them because why should they have to be on a diet just because I'm on one?

But anyhow, after a while you eventually stop desiring this sh!tty food and it gets easier.
