Hello, I am just curious as to what everyone else's portions size is I am at 1/2 cup and I am still hungry, drinking plenty of Water. I have 7.5 in my 10cc band. Just had fill yesterday and it has been 4 hours since I had some Breakfast and I am starving.

No longer feel hungry, when that feeling goes away I stop.

Thank You for posting these lovely poems, PrettyThick 1 and lisacaron. Right on time!!

Don't beat yourself up over this, the good thing is that you recognize that you made a mistake in your eating. That is the first step is knowing you did it and then making better choices the next time.

Thanks for posting this I can identify with some of what you are saying, Especially number 4. I thought maybe I was the only one, but it is ALWAYS water nothing else.

Thank you everyone for the positive remarks, advice and sharing of your knowledge!

Hello it has been a long time since I have been on here or on Fitness Pal. I have sort of given up. I eat everything in moderation, I have not exercised in a lonnnnngggg while. I have been banded since March 8,2013. I have not gained nor have I lost anymore. But I have lost in inches, it shows in all of my clothes. I eat more than I should, i just feel hungry after eating 1 cup which is what they say I should be eating.I drink lots of Water trying to get rid of the hungry feeling. I don't want to give up, I want to reach my goal weight. I just need to quit making excuses and JUST DO IT, I DID NOT GO THROUGH THIS SURGERY FOR NOTHING! I so want to get to onederland! Any advice, reprimand or encouragement will be greatly appreciated.10 cc band and it is filled to 6.0, I am starving!!!

This is may sound crazy, but can constipation be the reason for shoulder pain? I mean if gas can cause shoulder pain. Just a thought.

I was wondering about this pain because, I had not experienced it in the beginning. I was banded March 8,2013, but I have had it constantly for the last week or so and really bad this morning when I layed on my stomach, and it goes into my neck or that is how it feels. I got scared. I hope some of the suggestion on here help. Thanks and have a blessed Sunday!!

Liquids 2 days, Soft for 1 day and then back to normal.

I drink water with a slice of lemon and a sweet and low. Don't care for water either but it helps.

Thanks for sharing that was a real tear jerker, I was crying it was so pretty

We have been where you are, I agree with what everyone is saying just know that at the end of this journey there is a prize waiting for you to get there. YOU CAN DO THIS! DON'T GIVE UP !

This is not an everyday occurrance I only eat out, if I am in a hurry or my kids have a function that I don't have time to cook at home.
