i would imagine your eating to fast and to big of bites. try to take a small bite put fork down and chew chew chew. I havent had any problems like that at all.i guess im a lucky one. i have always been a fast loser but my problem was keeping it off. but this is my second fill so im afraid to jump into eating right now so im doing a day of liquids.. but your weight loss is great. remember everyone loses at different rates. keep posted all your doing great!

well, it finally happen

I was hoping he was gone for good or at least for a couple months, but he found me. I tried to hide, but had no luck. his back with a vengeance, my little friend HUNGER. he had me fooled for awhile but has been visiting me in the evening. I still am eating 1/4 of what I would normally eat.

example:1 boil egg (breakfast)

1/4 cup cottage cheese (mid-morning snack)

2 mixed seafood tostadas (lunch)

1 1/2 cups bean Soup (dinner) with 2 slices French bread

I cant believe I ate 2 slices of French bread. carbs and night hunger has always been my downfall. I have not weighed in since 1/30 so I hope I have not gained any weight. I have not had a fill and what to enjoy eating with no sliming/pbing or whatever else fills can cause, but I will now consider a small fill.

I don't ever what to return to my former life of binge eating that cause me to gain weight.

Am I fooling myself?

You are still improving on what you would have had before the band. You are not fooling yourself. It will work! Just think of the calorie difference in what you eat now vs. what you ate before! The weight didn't go on overnight, it won't go away overnight, but we're on the right track!
