It's been 2 wks

Since I was banded, and Im LOVING IT!

 

Over the last week, Ive experienced what it's like to NEVER be hungry! Never in my life have I had to remind myself to eat something.

 

I have noticed that if I forget to eat something small (around late afternoon) I start to feel shaky and sick stomached. Occasionally a headache will follow.

 

Im learning the importance of reading food labels and taking my time in the grocery store, which I have found to be a challenge in its own!

 

There have been moments though, when I have to be really strict with myself, and tell myself NO... I wont be hungry or anything and I want to go to the frig and just munch... Thats when I put on my pretty new nikes' and go for a walk, or leave the house and walk around mall or department store or somewhere....

 

m sure that with time things like this will get easier and less and less or something that I have to think about or tell myself no for.

 

Well all, thats the latest and greatest on this week! Just waiting and looking forward to the 18th of September, for my first fill!!!!!! Cant hardly wait to feel some serious restriction!

 

 

Best of luck and Prayers to all!:wub:

Great post and great reminder that the band doesn't do it for us - it just allows us to do what we need to do! Best wishes!!

Congratulations!!! I'm in Bandster hell right now, so glad you are not! I'm sure I'm going to come out of it, I'm thinking it may be because 4 days ago I switched from my EAS shakes which are 17 grams of protein to Slimfast (just for a change) and they have 10 grams of protein. My fault, I should have looked at the label more before buying them! I'm soooo hungry!

Great post and I love the comment about the label reading! I take twice as long in the grocery store now, but it's worth it because I don't bring home any junk! Keep up the great work and the great attitude!!!!
