you know what i figure it's just a bad habit that you've had for awhile and you just need to wean yourself off of it. like biting your nails or saying cuss words etc. i mean i love eating that's why i got fat but i replaced old habits with new habits. you can still have the things you like but just eat a little bit. don't go overboard. one piece of chocolate is fine, but come four or five that's when you need to stop. you need to learn when to stop. plus a very good and wise person once told me why spend so much money on a lapband and go through this process if you're going to ruin it with the bad habits that you got you there in the first place. anyway i'm no saint i'm still fighting my demons. but i haven't gained any weight back. i've lost 150 lbs from the surgery. i'm not where i would like to be yet and that probably has to do with the fact that i haven't completely wean myself from my old habits. but when i do theres nothing stopping me except me. so just remind yourself why you got the band in the first place maybe it will make you think twice before "sneaking."

are you for real? because if you are that's kind of really annoying. i mean who comes on a lapbandforum and tells someone that. you should make a post and tell us all to join "overeaters anonymous" then..
