Dan would be out in the middle of the sea right now.

Honey you need to focus and get out of the house, go do something else. You want to swim with me tonight?

Kristen is right......I have a feeling that you are doing this because you are bored.

So sweetie dahling......go out for a walk or something

I can't speak specifically to the band process since I had RNY. However, we all fight the battle with our brains which are the same brains we have had all along. I know I am stating the obvious when I say that the surgery is just a tool. We all know what we are "supposed" to do. it is the "doing it" that is hard. Someone one told me to try and keep busy or that when the urge to eat hits, tell myself to wait 15 minutes and go do something. Many times, that is enough to distract you from the moment. I was super good in the beginning, but fight this urge a lot now. I am trying to break it down into segments of the day and keep challenging myself to succeed one segment at a time. For me I am less tempted when I am at work. it is when I am home that the urge strikes me. I have even been thinking about counseling for myself but need to look into that more.

Just the fact that you are reaching out is a positive sign. Please hang in there. it is sooooo worth it in the end!

I agree, get your mind occupied....even if it's just getting up and walking outside around the house. Something. It's just that you haven't been able to have this stuff and now that you know you can, that's what happens. The mind will muff you up everytime and yes, is the last part to catch up to the WLS. Good that you are going walking tonight! That'll help too. Hang in there!
