Most of us have more willpower then we realize but you have to first start by changing your mindset - YOU DO have willpower and you need to tap into what will motivate you. You are so newly banded and could already be at risk of losing your band. Plus your wife is going to be banded so you both must be committed to this new life/lifestyle. And, I'm guessing you laid out some clams for this surgery which was enough to motivate me!

You need to really think this thru and make some commitments to yourself - I don't keep a lot of foods in the house which cuts down on snacking and grazing. I plan my meals so I don't get too hungry and eat out.

I try to eat foods I like but in smaller quantitities so I don't crave a lot of stuff.

But this is all me - you need to do that soul searching and like the Nike commercial - just do it - we all fall down and have weak moments but they should be moments not every day every second.

come on you CAN do this - start slow - go one meal at a time - Put money in a jar when you screw up (or give it to your wife to shop)...

396, I say, eat! Be happy! The day will come when your little band buddy will put a screeching halt to your over eating. Well, you'll still over eat, but it will magically re-appear shortly after consumption. That's why a lot of these people have a band. All you have to do is retrain yourself not to over stuff your banded stomach.
