I hear ya, its more like the mind is rebeling against the body. My body knows what its supposed to do and follows through, but my brain is the one thats causing problems, telling me to eat something I know I shouldn't, and how much and after I have, I wasn't really hungry for it, but just because it was. I will eat for 20-30 minutes sometimes alittle longer but I have the portion that Im supposed to eat no more (hubby is very good at portion control) . It does get easier, but people have to realize this is life long changes not till we've just lost the weight. We can still regain it back, and still be able to have health problems if we do.

I can admit I didn't know! Good Luck!

its been really hard for me to stop eating the stuff i like but i have a very good support team and they watch everything y eat i havent gone yeat for my first adjustment so i dont really know how it feels ..

I read some good advise on a LBT forum about knowing when you're hungry vs. just craving food and it stuck with me: if you feel hungry for a whole can of green beans, you are hungry. If you could eat a whole bag of potato chips, you are craving. I am still considering surgery, so I don't know exactly how you are feeling, but this has helped me to not overeat or not eat when I'm not actually hungry.

I got banded 8 mo. ago. I have been able to eat all the foods I like in a fair amount except for bread. My 3rd and last adjustment has made it a lot more hard. Its like I have now a little pouch that fills up with food & then travels up my throat forcing me to stop eating. I have ate such a small portion of food! Could this finally be working? This is what I have wanted. I wanted to get to a point where I didnt live to eat any longer, I wanted it to be difficult. Now my brain automatically looks for the smallest sometimes items healthier food choices because its easier to eat & I can get it over with. Could it finally be working?
