After hours spent reading & learning. Learning & reading, I sometimes start to freak myself out a bit with all the possiblities that can & do go wrong with the band. I would love if it were possible to have a thread that tells of the easy days. The no problem days. The life is so much better with the band days. The can't believe how easy it is to drink & eat days (healthy that is). The happy times even at parties & restaurants days. No worry days. ect ........

I thought Jonathans post about his sushi comparisons was very refreshing. Helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

That would be great on the Pros of banding thread.

I think my favourite part about being banded is breaking free from my obsession with food. Yeah, I still crave certain foods sometimes, but now 2 spoonfuls of ice cream satiates me instead of a whole pint. I don't eat just because it's "meal time" or just because everybody else is eating. It's nice to get out from under the food. And the longer I'm banded, the less control the food has over me.
