Well, I have certainly gotten to the SWEET SPOT and STAYING THERE! Takes awhile in the mornings to get OPENED up enough to allow the solid food intake!

I did have a peice of Lemon Pie (well 1/2 pc) today for Mothers Day. My family took me out to eat, and I felt like I wasted their money. Could not eat but about two bites of each thing or so! I was full, waited for awhile and was able to eat 1/2 pc of pie. It was all very delicious but I have become a SLOW eater and feel like I am PUSHED to eat when I look around the table and some are already on the third plate, mine is getting cold, and I can NOT swallow until I have chewed really good and I think they are looking at me. Anyone else have this problem? I eat really good at home, get everything written down or know what I can eat and keep only those things so I do better at home.

Hope all Had a Wonderful Mothers Day! God Bless all Mothers!:cursing:

Janet, Yes this happens to me all the time. I get a lot of anxiety eating infront of others. This only makes the problem more uncomfortable. I have not told but a few I have had this surgery. I'm sure they are wondering why I eat like I do? When I eat at home I am more comfortable and most times food seems to go down better.

Happy Mothers Day to you too! :cursing:

Happy Mothers Day, and yes my food is always cold by the time I get to eat enough of it. I am used to cold food now. I still have to go very slowly. I have also had an un-fill because I was just too tight. Sorta like too sweet... LOL Best wishes. imaluckydog

Some days I would just love to eat a Cheeseburger and fries or onion rings, but I would not love myself later would I? Just sayin~~~~Food is just not all that anymore, thank God! But I sure watched all my family eat it down today and the Mothers Day Buffet! I counted one family member going back for plate number 3, and just think that used to be me!!!! Thankful for the Band!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO EVERYONE I AM IN HEAVEN I DID THE GASTRIC SLEEVE WITH DR. MARIO ALMANZA IN TIJUANA MEXICO AND I FEEL GREAT I WANT TO THANK EVERY ONE GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT STAFF OF DOCTORS NURSES, NURSES AIDS AND HOSPITAL JERUSALEM LOVE THEM ALL !

Happens to me too a lot. I get a lot of anxiety eating in front of other people especially my co-workers. I try to think positive but does not always work. I'm sure they are wondering why I eat like I do? Eating at home is always better for me and for whatever reason most times food seems to go down a lot better unless I am upset or have a lot on my mind. Today is my first good day to eat in about 4 or 5 days. Glad to hear I am not alone......Sylvia
