So I have an 11cc band with 7cc in it total. I am going to the doctors again in a few days for a check up and maybe a fill. The problem is I cant decide whether I need a fill or not.
See I can also eat anything with very little trouble. I eat when I am "hungry" or so I thought. Recently I went on a backpacking trip and since there weren't many choices for eating I didnt eat much ( didnt pass many restaurants or places to eat lots of bus train etc traveling.) and I wasnt really hungry. Whenever I ate it was because my friends were dying of hunger but I didnt really feel the need to eat but I would anyways ( simply because places to eat were few and far in between). I only ever got small things to eat and never finished a meal.
Back home though is another story. I can eat forever without feeling uncomfortable. My stomach is never hungry now that I think of it but yet I still eat.
So should I get a fill so that I will feel uncomfortable if I eat too much or should I stick it out and stay the heck away from food ( maybe a zapper that will hurt if I touch or go near the fridge etc to keep me away)? This is something I will talk to my doctor about too but I am wondering what others think.
