to how much you used to eat before you were "banded". I'm curious, when I go to a restaurant like Applebee's for instance, I get a side salad, a cheeseburger w/fries and sometimes a dessert. I eat everything. And I'm not even Thanksgiving stuffed.

What did you used to eat at restaurants before and what do you eat now. Also, regular meals at home for b/l/d. Compare a former meal with a "now" meal!

Thanks!

In the final days of my Food Madness, I knew I was completely out of control.....

THEN: meals were just the official excuse to be doing what I was most of the day anyway;

NOW: meals really are separated by several hours of non-eating non-hunger non-food oriented behavior...

Very poetic, and deeply moving...summary of my life the last year before my band, "food consumed me"
