Will I ever feel NORMAL Again?

AprilE,

I was only referring to normal as in not in constant pain. If I have gas that I can burp up, I am cool, but this gas, that just sits in my chest and literally stops me from talking and swollowing, I do not want to expereince that the remainder of my life. I will be happy when I just have my band and I dont think of it every minute of every day.

The doctor told me that when I feel that sort of pain...it is a reminder to either stop eating because it is either too much or too fast. I get that quite a bit because I still have trouble taking it slow.:thumbup:

Also I have been using that as an indicator to just stop the meal altogether, if I just relax, I will have felt the restriction. That is what I need to make me stop. Others have better will power than me.
