    I was banded one year ago, as of 1/31. My last fill was late March, first week of May. I have not, nor have I needed a fill since then.
    That's been 8-9 months ago!
    I've been carrying on as usual, not really thinking about it except when visiting this website to give my 2 cents worth now and again.
    I have to admit, I was getting a little frustrated, not exactly sure why.
    This morning at the gym I got lost in thought....and this may sound stupid.....but I have been in the Green Zone for the past 7 months and didn't really pay much
    attention to it?
    Everything suddenly fell into place, totally changing the way I look at things!
    It's like suddenly realizing you you graduated and got your diploma! so why are you sweating it!
    It's done! It's over! You have arrived! What else is there for me to do?
    I'm never hungry anymore......I eat very little, and whenever I feel like I need to......I don't even think about food anymore.
    I keep telling myself there is something I need to do...it can't be this easy...but I can't think of anything!!!
    Does that mean there is nothing left for me to learn??? To the contrary. I learn new things all the time. But with all respect, I don't think
    80% of the people here would have the slightest clue what I'm talking about! (the world is not flat) Maybe that was why I was getting frustrated.
    I'm scheduled to see my Dr first week in Feb. I've asked myself if I may need a slight fill. But I'm not sure what that would do for me in addition to where I'm at now.
    Just had to share!

    I know for me, you have to take it reeeaaaalll slow, with small bites, and learn to recognize the warning signals to stop.
    Learning how to eat all over again is a very important lesson. It can be like walking on egg shells sometimes.
