Afraid of gaining

Hi, I had my surgery April 2005. I am so afraid of gaining any weight back. I do notice I am craving carbs, but still am doing very well, but really need to watch it. I think my problem really is that I don't actually know what hunger feels like. Now right now my stomach is growling so I am pretty sure I am hungry, but other times I think I just eat out of habit. Does anyone have any info? Thanks, Lynn

I have always been a label reader b/c of allergic reactions to everything. Since being banded, I am a mega label reader and have noticed E V E R Y T H I N G has carbs in it. Things you would not imagine having carbs. So far, the water is still carb-free......WHEW!!!

Me too, I feel hungrier every day & have to watch everything I put in my mouth. I have on;y gained 4 pds & that was within this month with stress. But if I let go.Whewww I would be in trouble. Your not alone Sharon

OK Guys - several folks have asked us to get together for a "Virtual Support Group", so we are going to start tonight and give it a try! Just come TO THIS SPECIFIC MESSAGE BOARD tonight, we will start at 8PM Central (6PM Pacific, and 9PM Eastern). All you do is select CHAT ROOM from the upper left of the screen here on this board. It is the first selection listed under "Hunger And Food Troubles Forum" in the left blue column. I am really looking forward to some really great discussions and ideas being exchanged, so let's do it! I will see you then! Michael
