MarieMarie got a reaction from gail10 in Food going cold.......
I noticed on the weekend my friends finished their food before me. In the past, I ate quickly

I was honest with everyone. I had a hernia repair. Just didn't mention WLS

I had a long post reply and accidentally deleted it. So I'll just say great topic.

MarieMarie reacted to MaryRN66 in OMG! Is THIS what the Green Zone feels like? AWESOME!
I got my third fill on Tuesday and as soon as I took the sip of Water, I could FEEL it! Restriction - glorious restriction! I had not felt that before unless I ate something starchy/bread. After fill, was not hungry the rest of the day. Yesterday, ate a small amount for Breakfast, not hungry until dinner and then very satisfied with a small amount. This morning, the scale finally MOVED down - 5 lbs from where I was the previous weigh (and i admit that's been several weeks as feeling down that I was so hungry after all of the surgery costs and discomfort, etc).
Now I feel I am IN THE GAME and I am so excited to know THIS is what it is supposed to feel like! I don't feel hungry! I feel full after a few small bites of Protein dense food. I am not ravenous and dreaming about junk food anymore. I AM HAPPY!!!!!
I wanted to share this with the rest of the community. I haven't been posting - I felt like I might be one of the folks for which this tool just doesn't change the underlying, overwhelming appetite issues I have had all of my life. But it IS changing that and I feel so hopeful - it's been so long since I've felt this way.
:-)))))))))))

MarieMarie reacted to JustWatchMe in Stuck
Like B52 said, drinking won't work for me. Spit it up, stop eating, give the body a rest for several hours and stick to liquids until the next day at least.

MarieMarie reacted to terriewoods in Who uses 'diet managment' software program, Please Step Inside
When you say diet management software are you talking about like My Fitness Pal? I use My Fitness Pal and really like it. It is kind of hard with the band because I need the Protein but it helps me keep up with my calories. I also have a fitbit that I wear everyday and it links with the My Fitness Pal.

I agree. My goal isn't to be skinny. It is to feel comfy in my skin

MarieMarie reacted to Miss Meg in Slim band false advertising
I had my band put in 10 weeks ago and I can definitely eat what I want in smaller portions. As samcat681 stated it is still up to you to put the right things in your body. Good luck with whatever decision you make.

I danced Saturday night with two men I had met before. They barely recognized me until I spoke with them. Had a fun evening

MarieMarie got a reaction from Debbie3sons in How many Wardrobes have you gone through?
Its my necklines on my shirts. They have all gotten too big with my upper body/boobs shrinking. During the day I will look down and my bra strap is showing as neckline shifts or too much cleavage or bra are showing. I might put a few stitches in the ones I can

Wow. I will be so happy when I take a size 16. I have a large bone frame and never took smaller than 14. My daughter is the same and looks anorexic when in 9/10 clothes. She is a happy size 12
