Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my band 3/23, just had my 4th little fill, and I have lost 50lbs!  Slow, but that is 50lbs that is not reeking havok on my body and that wouldn't be possible w/out the band. 

Its been very crazy couple of months but I'm still happy with everything.  The hardest issue for me still is "judging" how much food is enough.  I'm still used to the "old" way of eating.  Filling my plate till I can't see the bottom.  Then before I sit down, I will say, "NOOO thats way to much".  I will put bac****il I see what I should be eating and say to myself, "you can always get more if you are still hungry (which I never am of course)."  Its trying to do 32 years of crap!  Thats hard!  But its also been a great learning experience for me as well.  Especially weeks like this when its almost my time of month...Dear Lord I could eat a whole extra cheese and pepporoni pizza, w/ a side of Extreme Moose Tracks Chocolate Ice Cream and 4 white chocolate mochas w/ 3 extra shots espresso!!!!!  Of course I really wont or wouldn't eat that, but it does sound good!  LOL

Thanks everyone for continued support and advice! 

congrats

That's wonderful. Congrats!

Congrats!!!!!  I actually do the same.  I always end up putting food back. lol  Also, I can so relate to White Chocolate Mochas!  I pass a Starbucks everyday and I sooo want to get one!

LOL...I can relate!! You are doing awesome!!

I'm almost 3 years out and still think I can eat more then I can..lol. But, what really amazes me is when I'm out at a restaurant and when they bring out the dishes. I can't believe the portion sizes where as before it was just normal and I would eat the whole thing, plus dessert, etc. Sometimes I get funny reactions from the waiters because I'm sure they see it as normal too.

I have my days of wanting to eat (old habits) but my band keeps me from doing it. On days my band is not so tight, I eat while I can as I know those days only come about once a month if that...
