Well stated. This has truly been a journey for me. I am learning control, to listen to my body and self reliance. I'm sure that you will be the best xmas gift that you will recieve. Fivey

Your doing an amazing job! I admire your ability to wait for the 20 "feeling full" to kick in. I am having a little difficulty with the timing of my meals. I eat a bit to fast for my taste. Keep up the good work. Your a week closer to your goal weight.

Hi All, Today I joined Lap Band Talk to save myself. My surgery was 11/14/11. Can you imagine? I get paid for advice and empathy and yet I'm here feeling so unsure. I went shopping for the holiday this morning after going to the gym with my husband. I ran 1 1/2 miles and I felt so good. During our shopping spree I came up with every excuse to purchase corn chips for my "dog". Perhaps I am not adjusting mentally to this liquid phase. So why did I have to try six chips and now I am waiting for the consequences to come on? I feel sad, concerned and unsure of why I acted in such a self-defeating manner. Perhaps I was seeking to join a group just like this : ) Something tells me that this self-discovery process is going to be rocky (not rockly road ice cream). I'm down 14lb during the last three weeks. I gotta stay focused. I want to loose another 10lbs befor X-Mas. ~ Fivey

I too am HUNGRY and its only six day post op. I can see that this is a common song. Can someone tell us how to manage it. I keep dreaming of dill pickles and carrots. ~ Fivey

WOW! Down 19lbs. Keep up the great work. I'm four days behind you and I'm down 14lbs. Think like the litte red engine that could "I think I can", "I think I can", "I think I can" "Whoot!, Whoot!" ~ Fivey
