Veteran Bandsters - Hungry vs. Full

[photo01886 0]

I was banded back on Sept. 21, 09 and I have to say I still have that "head" hunger as someone mentioned. I have lost 35 since surgery and 51 since July 1. I think if I could stop eating when I was "full" I would lose even more weight. I have only had 1 fill so I am wondering if I will be able to acknowledge that "full/satisfied" feeling once I get another fill? Maybe I need more restriction? I have to say I was initially not going to get a second fill in December because I was doing so well without it but now I am thinking I am going to need more help. SOmetimes I feel like I can eat as much as I want, luckily I still have the "fear" and don't do it but it seems to be harder and harder to keep my appetite in check. I was a perfect candidate for lap band surgery because I wasn't much of a snacker just a big meal eater.

I love this website!! Everyone is so helpful (most of the time!) and it is great to have people to ask questions that a doctor might not understand!!!

When you are able to eat more foods you will not be so hungry. The feeling of satisfaction you will get is wwaaaayyy better than the feeling of fullness you used to get preband!:wink2:
