So I am 5 days away from my 5 month surgiversary. I'm down 62lbs, and feeling great! BUT, I am finding myself over eating, and KNOWING that I'm doing it. I have somehow quit paying attention to the amount of times I chew my food, the size of my bites, and I'm finding myself scarfing my food down. I need to break this cycle, and quick. Would love some pep talk from fellow banders!

I love the myfitnesspal. to put the portion in it is right under where it asks you to enter the serving amount.

I love my fitness pal too! I'm under the username dawalsh OR tutti517 if you want to be a MFP buddy. MFP keeps me honest with my calorie count and I've gone over my calorie limit 3 times since Dec. I hate when I see the red numbers but it keeps me aware.

Oh and i also wanted to thank you for this post because this is the reason why i joined this site. I want to hear from real people living their everyday lives with the lap band and their successes and struggles.

That's what brought me here when I joined. I wanted to read the good and bad or negative aspects of the band. I also love the caring support I receive from this forum. I'm looking forward to following your journey. Good luck!

That's exactly why I'm here! Not here to sugar coat anything, and I know that I can speak my mind here, and hear what I need to hear to get back on track!
