Holy Cow. I have been pretty good when it comes to emotional eating since being banded, but I am having an unfortunate sibling experience that immediately sent me to the kitchen! Oh, I thank God for the band. I started to eat a cookie and could immediately tell that my band didn't like it. Yes, chocolate goes down easier, but FORTUNATELY I only had a cookie in the house. Also, having retrained myself a bit with binge eating and quantities was very helpful. I guess I will go for a walk now. The band really helps! Karen

karen - good for you for resisting the urge to binge!!! a treat every now and then is ok well at least to me it is - but you were smart to stop when your band told you to!! and this band is such a mighty thing that I am thankful everyday that I have it

I am also thankful for the band! It has saved me LOTS of bingeing and emotional eating episodes! Glad to hear that it is working for you!

This band is the best thing ever. Good for you. Hope you had a nice walk!
