Promblems not feeling full after eating!!

I was banded 2/14/2006. My hightest weight was 256 and then last summer I was down to 176. It truly felt great. But I lost it because for whatever reason my band tighted on its own and I could not eat hardly anything for a while. Maybe 4-8 weeks. Then I got hooked on ice cream and then sometimes that would not go down. I was so unhappy. I was happy I was loosing but it i was miserable and starving. I had to get an unfill. Then I could eat much better. But from STARVING to eating again was not a good thing. I have done this 2 to 3 times going back and forth. Receive Fills(then band tightens up again after about 3-4 months) then Unfills...(feels like I am still on that rollercoaster)......Not sure why my band never feels just right. I very rarely have that full feeling after eating too. Why do I never have the full feeling everyone talks about?? So now I find myself eating those big portions,( I do try to eat healthier but fail at that a lot too) I am going in 2 weeks to get a fill but working really hard to change by lifestyle and eating habits up till that day comes. I started walking at lunch and at my son's baseball practice, cause I do not like where this is going (now I am at 209) and I know only I can change this horrible cycle with God's help and your support. I do like this website for support cause my doctor's support groups are too far away for me. I have found a couple of groups locally but sometimes their are conflicts with my son's sports, etc.....I hope to accomplish what I began back in 2006.

Head hunger not stomach hunger

Need support and advise on how to handle this so call "HEAD HUNGER".:eek: I remember so many times when my band was tight and then I had an unfill so I could eat and drink water again. Well from starving to eating was bad enough for me. Then I remember eating after eating knowing I was not hungry. I think I need to begin focusing on what I believe to be possible underlying issues. I believe some of my issues are overwhelmed with life in general (such as working, paying bills, blessed with a 9 year old son who is involved in sports, yard work, landry, etc), bordom-no time to take care of me, wanting to eat fast foods like skinny people which they eat a couple of bites and then they are full, tired of being alone, etc. I am trying to start over beginning this week and move forward. I have never had a steady support group and have tried to do it all on my own over and over again. Well this week I have recently started to get more involved with this web site because I realize I need all the support I can get!! I feel better just getting it all out. WOW who knew! LOL :w00t: I am still 45 lbs lighter than 2006 but want to loose 45 more pounds!
