It Is Like I Never Had Surgery Sometimes

[maegan 51]

I am 4 months post op with 4cc in my band. Sometimes I feel like I could eat all day and others I don't. It is still a struggle for me to make the right food choices and stick to the portions. I just try to remind myself it is a tool and not a magic solution. I still hVe to exercise and eat somewhat healthy for the scale to move. I also remind myself I wouldn't have already lost 43 lbs without it!

I hope things get better for those starting out and frustrated. Patience is hard. Keep working with your dr. and let the tool be all that it can be.

Patience will see you right, I'm a little further out than you and have been going through similar feelings. It takes a while to begin working, but try and get your head in the right place and finding the foods you like that will keep you fuller longer. Carolyn suggested Proteins and I couldn't agree more. Omellete, tuna, chicken keep me full for 3-4 hours for under 300 cals. If that was Cereal I'd be hungry after couple of hours. Except porridge, that stuff keeps me full too...

Chin Up, and i'm sure you'll find the strength to tackle your demons. X
