Let me just say that I don't like Head Hunger. There is such a difference in real hunger vs. head hunger. Sadly, it has taken me more than a year after being banded and a lifetime to learn the difference. Since I was very young, I've fought the fat fight. I became a dieting expert....I was the professional at it. I'd loose 10 lb. then gain 20 lb., loose 20 lb. then gain 30 lb., loose 30 lb. then gain 50 lb. Well, you get the idea. I did this until I became a whopping 80-85 lb. overweight expert. It has taken me my lifetime to realize that my stomach isn't hungry....it's my head....it's my psyche. Now that I've learned that, I'm learning how to be an overcomer and a success. During the discovery of this revelation, I've lost 45 lb. I still have 40+ to loose. But, that's not even the best of it....it's getting my psyche under control. I'm on my way at 45 lbs. lighter. Not bragging, just grateful.

GREAT article. Got several questions answered! Thank you.

Hi SoccerBluej...I'm a KY woman too. I have my surgery in Louisville 9/21/11. Glad to meet you and hope we can help each other.

I was banded 09/21/11 and I still get hunger rumbles even though I'm not hungry.

Hang in there TMF....We'll get there!!! Its just hard...

Yyyaayyy!!!!!....then I must be in the green zone. I can't eat as much as my 2 yr. old grandson and I don't have real hunger for 4 or 5 hrs. Thanks for commenting Sasha!!!

Right now, I can't eat lots of anything....

Well, what I've been told is being in the green is when you have the right amount to curve the amount of food for consistent weight loss. I sure feel like I'm there this time. I eat less than my 2 yr. old grandson now. I hope it lasts. Good luck KarFox.

Good for YOU!!!! Congrats
