Awe Willie, It will get better. You said you ate and then went back and ate more and now you are sick at your stomach! Try to find something to do after the first time you eat! Like check LBT for some new posts. Your sick at your stomach because your body didn't need the extra hamburger. This will get better once your banded because the band WON'T let you have the second helping! Keep focused!

After burger #1, log in promptly, go to the Before & After thread, and look at all the hotties' pictures. Motivation and recreation all in one!

You've still got all that good work to be proud of, it takes a long time to change habits of many years. Over time I've found its gotten lots easier and now I can honestly look at food as just sustenance and nothing more. It takes little effort now to avoid what I shouldnt eat and on the days when I do desire it, I have what I want, in small amounts.

YOu will get to that point too but it takes a while. Just hang in there.

I am not banded either, hopefully 4/18. Changing eating habits is a very difficult thing and I think we are all aware of this. But everyday is a day where there is an opportunity to change things. Don't be so hard on yourself, you can do this!

For me, I believe it was a control thing. Food was something I could choose and eat as much as I wanted. It was a comfort to know that there was something in the world I was in control of. But the joke was on me. I was way out of control. Food called the shots in my life, not me. Once I realized that, and saw clearly what that food was doing to my body, my health, my self esteem.. well, I got mad and took control. I got banded. Your help is on the way, Willy. Don't be too hard on yourself. We all know what it's like to ask "Why?!" and while we don't always know the answer, we do know where to get help. The band has changed everything for me. I don't ask why anymore, I am finally in control.

I know EXACTLY how you feel--I'm in my pre-op diet phase--supposed to be a 30 day deal. Well--I'm going to be banded on April 18--just about 3 weeks or so away. I did not fair so well with my first week of this liquid diet thing.

Days 1,2, and 3--great job--then days 4, 5, and 6--hog city. My daughter's 1st birthday was day 5--and I just went crazy. I feel really gross now, but tomorrow's another day.

I really hope the band helps me pull the reigns on my galloping hunger.

Chin up, we fight on...never stopping for better health and freedom from the obsession with food.

Wow. Your message sounds all too familiar. Only I have been playing this game for 10 years longer than you. I am awaiting insurance news via a lawyer that specializes in Obeisity Law. It sounds very encouraging so we'll see.

Wishing you all the best.

A fellow full person!

This is a new day, and I have quit kicking myself...So I,ll get a fresh start today, and try again. Its just strange you do so good then its like somthing takes your body over. The only think i did different yesterday was i went to Mcdonalds and got a fruit and yogart bowl. it was good but i was hungery all day....maybe that trigered it... Iam going for the Banuet potrost today which is 4 points or a leanpocket for 6...... I have actually lost 25 pounds on this but i have gained 20 back...the only good think that came from it was my colestral went from 311 to 172 sorry for the spelling. got to get ready for work have a good day to all.

Good luck today willybe! I can definietly relate... I've found that I don't pig out so much in the evening if I eat a more substantial breakfast and lunch. If I'm "really good" all day, I'm starving by the time I get home from work and look-out junk food! I'm currently appealing my insurance company(evil people) so, it will probably be May or June before I get my band.. When do you get yours? Congratulations on lowering your cholesteral, I've never really had that problem, but I'm a high-triglyceride girl... love those breads and sugars! Don't beat yourself up too much... before long you'll have the band to help you fend off that second and third humburger and tots!

Hang in there, Willy! There are times now, I was banded last July, when I still want to eat too much! I WANT to finish the plate even if I feel like I need to throw up! food was such a "dear friend" for sooooo long that it is hard to let go! Try to really FEEL your body by using relaxation. When you do that it is easier to tell if you are hungry or 'thungry' (that's when you think you are hungry, or just want more time with that old friend!

Good luck to you. Remember, each journey is made one step at a time!
