Why, why, why can't I stop putting junk in my mouth when I'm not hungry. I can do well for a few days and then I find the junk food around the house and I'll just eat. I've eatin even when I don't want it. Can anyone relate to this? My DH can eat whatever and whenever he wants and doesn't gain a pound. I feel like a basket case at times. I was banded 6/3/09 and have lost 35 lbs since the 2 week pre-op liqued diet. I got my second fill today for a total of 3.5cc. I know it was suppose to be liquids all day, but I was helping out at our church tag sale and was starving by 10 am. With no liquid food in sight, I had a small lemon poppy seed muffin. I felt it get "stuck" and needed my enzyme tablets. Not fun. The rest of the day was followed by junk food and I have not had a "meal" all day. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!. I feel so out of control with myself. Any suggestions to get back on track with my eating and thinking habits? I just want to cry and I feel so alone with this struggle. :cool2: Please help.

Hi Karen..

Don't beat yourself up. This whole banding thing is a big learning experience. There are days I do really well and other days I don't, but I just try to stay focused on Protein first.. that is my most helpful suggestion.

Hey.. I just noticed we were banded by the same practice. I've never gone to the support group through Norwalk though, I go to the one at Greenwich hospital. Just hang in there and keep up the good work.
