I do believe this is it! I've lost count of fills but I have restriction, I'm not hungry and when I eat I'm literally eating bites of food and I'm satisfied.

I feel great, minus the sweet cravings, food is NEVER on my mind....I LOVE IT. No longer am I a slave to food, the drive thru or anything having to do with food. It feels great to eat an orange or apple and be full. To eat half of a sandwich and be done. To be full off of a protein bar or yogurt. Just great great stuff!

In other news my craving for sweets got the best of me last night so I decided to go to my old standby Peanut Butter and Jelly.... BIG mistake. BIG BIG BIG mistake.. I now know what you all mean by "STUCK", "SLIME" and "PB'ing" - Ok I'd been stuck one before the first week after surgery but it hadn't happened since..

I got about 3 bites into the sandwich and OMGosh the PAIN.. the PAIN.. The nausea the slime the please just go down.. please just go down, or come up.. oh wait it's peanut butter it's not going any where..

Thankfully the whole episode only lasted about 5 mins but it was the LONGEST 5 minutes of my life... so note to self.. Peanut butter is NOT your friend...

you had peanut butter with bread?? wow you are lucky it was only 5 mins of pain! I so far have zero restriction but i have been keeping away from all types of bread for the exception of pitas.

I have my 4th fill in 2 weeks i hope to get closer to the sweet spot and stop being hungry. i love the idea of having a a orange or P bar and feel full.

I will always be surrounded by food ( 3 small kids) but i want to stop having cravins and eating just because.

Enjoy the spweet spot.. best of luck

Thanks so much.. yes ma'am I eat bread all the time.. but that was the first time I did the pb&j type of thing.. OUCH

Ouch, sounds aweful. I love pb&j but will stear clear after reading your experience. I too have a wicked sweet tooth and hope the surgery helps. Sounds like you are in a good place now. Run with it and keep losing! Congrats
