I tend to use a baby spoon, it definitely helps. And lately (I'm 3 yrs out) I am much more aware of my chewing and making sure at least 20 times.

Could be scar tissue stretching (a guess). Call dr to voice concerns. That's my best advice

I would guess scar tissue- normal. But I would recommend checking with your dr

Sabotaging yourself is so hard! Even with an empty band you CAN do it. Start tracking foods again for sure. That will help u see where ur mistakes are happening. Is it head or true hunger? I still have head hunger 2 yrs later. Many are here to help.

It's funny my band and my thought process stops after 6 too. I tend to treat myself at night to a small bowl of my fav ice cream with a small whipped cream as a treat. It works and keeps me on track

YES. Even now 2 years later it happens to me when I am not eating enough protein and staying hydrates.

I got my TT done a year ago. It was approved one year after banding when I had lost 85lbs. I had hanging skin, etc.

It's your band and therefore your business. Personally I wouldn't lie. I am DAMN PROUD of what I was able to accomplish with the help of my band.

First congrats on your success. I think that you are doing so well. I too didn't feel restriction for quite some time, but managed to lose an average of 10 lbs a month. I think much of it is in our heads. I still struggle with head hunger (2yrs out). And I still have sweets - just something small everyday so I don't feel I am depriving myself. You are doing fantastic.

Congrats you look great

Good job & congrats
