It's been awhile since I've posted on here. So far, I've lost 47 pounds. I'm worried though. VERY WORRIED. Okay this is the situation. I'm worried I'm eating to much. Today I ate ... 1.5 chicken strips 3 bites of potatoes 1 meatball 4 bites of a meat an cheese sandwich ??? It seems like a lot. And lately its been crazy, I've been on the go alot more then usual and I've even started eating fast food .. like the chicken nuggets kids meal ... I mean, I'm just so mad at myself right now. Im going to a private meeting with a dietician soon. And also I'm going back to support group. I am hoping that will help me. My surgeon's office told me I might be eating more since my period was due, but it never came. And I never stopped getting hungry. I am not constantly hungry, but before I NEVER got hungry and now I do get hungry. The other issue. I'm having some issues with feeling a "burning" in my stomach. Anyone know about this ?

Hey Becca, I hear ya on the eating too much thing. God, I love food.. and really that's never going to change. BTW, I'm 24 and was banded in July 2003. At one point I had too much fill and PBed every day and now I have 2.2cc's of fill and could use some more becasue I can really eat too much. It just sounds like you need more fill. It does really help. Although, I hate that sweets go down so well. But it sounds like you're doing great with your weight loss really! I started at 249 and am now about 180 so that's only 70 lbs for me and I've been post-op way longer than you. I'm pretty happy though, still have the fat but I can wear a size 12. Just get another fill and you should be good. -Holly

Hey guys! I really need help. I was banded end of August and my mind is starting to play tricks on me again! I'm starting to eat again like I used to and I can't make myself stop! Anyone else going through or went through this? I've tried all those "mantras" like "my body is not a garbage can" and all that stuff, but I just can't stop. Does anyone have any suggestions? And yes, I've thought about getting my mouth stapled shut! Becca 389/312/170
