The # 1 Lesson I Learned from my Band

[waiting&waiting 21]

Glad to hear so many others are feeling the same. I had my second fill on nov 26th and left with 7.5 cc in my band. I truly knew I was tight and could only drink liquids for the first week. However, it's been 16 days now and Im still only drinking Protein shakes, liquid Soups, etc. i know everyone would say your too tight get an unfill, but truthfully, I am happy eating this way. I love not being hungry, or saying oh I need this or that to satisfy my hunger. I'm happier now than ever with this no mental hunger game. I wasn't losing any weight after my surgery (sept 24), and felt is discouraged. After my OVERFILL, I have lost 8 lbs in 15 days and am now down a total of 25. I love the fact, that now if I want a piece of pie, it only takes 2 tbsp to make me feel full and turn my cheek to the rest. My hubby says gosh you get full on four almonds as if you ate entire steak dinner and I really do.

I would give anything if I have met my sweet spot on my second fill. I hope...I hope.

Wow, I really like that! You took words right out of my head!!!! It's eating out of necessity, nutrition to live...instead of eating out of excess or luxury. Same feelings that I will eat what I can eat, not a race to the restaurant. I love this feeling!!!!

I remember only wanting to go places if I could eat something "good"! The hardest part has been wanting to eat. Its all in the head! I still struggle with it but its getting better!

Today, I went at 12:30 with a friend for some Chinese food, had some Soup, got full, left feeling so wonderful knowing I'm in control. It's 8:00 tonight, still very full, so Protein shake and off to bed soon.
