Emotional/ stress eating today to the point where if I had been banded yet, I would have exploded!!!!

How has anyone dealt with this post op?

Oiy vey that is hard but it even happens when banded. I think that you just have to stay busy and try not to think about food. As you become more seasoned your mind will no longer be consumed with food. You will be more consumed with wanting to be successful to prove those who had no faith in you wrong lol

agree with cheryl

life will happen with or without the band and its up to us how we let it affect us

and the band will help us eat less but we just gotta make better choices...and bb, you got the banded b's

to vent to or come to for support.....always

Thanks gals. I worry I will stuff food in and before I realize I did it, Bamm!

Banded B's you rock.

You wont. There are always going to be bad days but I think for the most part I do well. If I eat more carbs one day then fine if I dont then fine. It was sugar that was my poinson so I have to stay away from it all together cause if I dont I will be a binging machine. That is why in the beginning we are your support along with your home support so we can kick your a-- when you don't follow the rules lmao

Plus I'll kick your ass!

I put the B in Banded B you know!

Ooo, Cheryl and I on same wave length.

After being banded you might try to stuff your face, but the band will kick your ass.

OMG I SPELLED POISON WRONG DON'T JUDGE ME LOL

Oh thank you, kick hard!

Now if I could just get the teenagers to listen to their mama this would not be an issue!

Yeah ok I had two of those martians and they never listened. As a matter of fact at 31 and 29 the little effers still don't listen. But they are boys lol who grew into grown boys lmao

My college freshman is about to go into the homestretch of finals with these stellar grades(B C C D D). He needs a 2.5 at years end or we lose a $10,000 scholsrship

Oh no we need to kick his a-ss lol. I'm game I was always good at kicking my son's asses. I still think at 49 and 10 months I could do it with no problem. My sons always shaved their heads and still do because I pulled their hair so much.

He has done sooooooo many things to make us proud, but he has always not been a student and so pay pay $$$$$$$ to send him to one of the best engineering schools in the country for its hands on, shop style courses.

His major is construction management. It's ideal for him, but no effort to study.

Not the typicsl freshmen, going wild and partying. He comes HOME every weekend to work(he began a lawn business 4 years ago, and now has 20 plus clients). And he agrees, gotta get a degree so he doesn't have to be a laborer, he can be the boss. SO get off your A** and study or I'm going to od on oreos!!!

Banjo....when Im feeling like all I want to do is eat....I grab my water bottle that holds 4 C. and I just drink and drink....it really does help..to just keep the bottle in my hand.....
