Essentially, yes, I'm terrified that if I get fluid taken out then I'll be ravenously hungry again and be able to eat anything in sight. Right now, if I eat verrrrrrrrrry slowly, I can eat soft meats, but it takes me over an hour to eat anything if I'm not drinking with the meal. (which I know I shouldn't be doing!). But no matter what I eat, if it's solid, I get stuck on it at least at first. I usually take a handful of papaya enzyme and it gets unstuck, but it's pretty much every meal. I do want to be able to eat good foods. And I know I'm not making good choices when ice cream goes down so well, but chicken doesn't. I'm not having any reflux really, so I guess that's good. But I guess that ultimately I'm just scared that taking anything out of my band will turn me into an even bigger failure than I already feel. Does that make sense?
