I have a really sick compulsion to binge on sugary foods. I am so afraid that I will get the band and then not be able to stop binging. Anyone been thru this?:help:

I'd be willing to try that.

Besides say.. cooking in olive oil, how do you get your 'fats in' with omega 3 and olive oil? Any examples?

:cry So I am reading about head hunger....I am 3 weeks out and I am still trying to understand what my body is telling me. Sometimes I will be watching TV or drive by a fast food place and want to stop...would that be considered head hunger?

Is your stomach actually hungry? Or are you just 'wanting' to eat?

I had my band put in 1/31/2007. I still struggle with head hunger but I can only eat half (or less) of what I used to eat. My binges are nothing compared to what they used to be. I have lost about 80 pounds but know it would be more if I didn't give in to the head hunger. I still have cravings and struggle. I wish I knew how to reduce it but I just do the best I can, one day at a time. It helps to know others struggle with the same thing, though.

Thats a hard one for me, I would have to assume that if my tummy was hungry I would have been hungry before I saw it. But it feels the same to me

I'd be willing to try that.

There is an omega3 supplement called Coromega. I get it at Super Supplements or Pilgrim's Nutriton. It comes in 3 flavors: orange, orange with a hint of chocolate or lemon-lime. It comes in a little packet like ketchup, it's the consistency of pudding, and doesn't taste too bad. I take my multi-vitamin or calcium right after to get the taste out of my mouth. It is 2 grams of fat and 20 calories. I take one packet a day.
