Learning to be banded.

So I finally feel like I have a band when I eat beef or bread. When I eat these I have to eat slowly and chew more. Surgery was May 25th but I have really never had any feeling that I was different. I still can eat too much of some things and I get hungry in two to four hours after most meals. But I am on my way. Stuck at the same weight for two weeks, but maybe the next fill and learning to live and eat right will break this plateau.

I wonder why we feel such different things. I am post-op over 3 months (lost 62 pounds) with no fill and I do not ever get hungry. I eat 700-800 calories per day, no bread (except toast, rarely) I cut all my food into tiny pieces and make sure to use a lot of mustard so that it is not dry as I am swallowing. I do not drink anything during my meal or for 1 hour afterwards so that there will be delayed emptying of the pouch. When I get hungry (and NEVER the all-consuming hunger I used to feel) I eat some pickles or a few peppers or have a salad with zero- calorie dressing.

Please advise me what you do differently.

WOW Michael. I could never eat just 700 cals a day. I work out 2 hours a day and burn about 1000 cals. Im eating about 1500 cals - high protein, fiber and nutrients. I also must drink with my meals or else I would only be able to eat a few bites. With working out so hard, I need to be able to eat 5 meals. I need to keep my body in shape so not working out or just walking isnt an option for me.
