rejuvinated

I'm 63 years old. 3 years ago I got banded, and lost 40 pounds in 3 months. I continually stayed frustrated with too lose a band fill, despite 9cc, hungry all the time, and essentially sabotaged my surgery and weight loss. Discouraged with trying to get enough protein and not having much variety, I just stopped dieting. 1 1/2 years later , and much misery trying to do it my way, I now have 2 1/2 cc in the band, feel very comfortable with eating just 1/2 a cup, trying to make an effort to get to the gym on a regular basis and I'm losing weight again. I think I grew up! I discovered with some soul searching , what the root of my eating was, and it has shed a whole new light on why I have been such a compulsive eater. Finding variety and getting the amount I need each meal has continued to be a challenge, but this time I'm making it work.
