12 pounds from goal-just unfilled-no restriction-Now what?

[ginger12/26 4]

So my surgeon and I decided that since I have lost ~150lbs, and I am almost to goal, and I have been having a lot of issues with getting solid food down we would unfill me to almost nothing (I now have 1.1cc's) and see how I do. I have no restriction what-so-ever and I for some reason am worried. I am worried that I don't know how to eat like a "skinny person". I still have the mind and appitite of a 300lb person. This is the biggest mental paradox I have ever encountered. I have considered joining weight watchers just to see what I need to do to maintain this lovely new me. Has anyone else experienced this or mastered this unique situation? Any advice is appreciated!

I am still pretty new to the band(2 months) but wanted to #1 - commend you on an amazing weight loss!!! and #2 - offer some support. You must have been banded for some time in order to have had such a great weight loss and although you are currently without restriction, you CAN do this. You have been "trained" by your band and have done very well. Sure, this may be a little harder but you are not who you were. You are a strong 150lb woman. You know Portion Control and will be successful and maintaining that while you are unfilled.

I am sure you will get some great advice from others who have walked in your shoes.

Well wishes!!!!

WW is a good idea. You most likely will gain. Why didn't he just remove .3 or something like that. That usually helps with solids.
