Ever since I got restriction (7.7 cc in a 10cc band) I've been feeling full and losing weight. Most of the time I dont get stuck but there are some days where it just pops up out of no where and no matter how small of a bite I take, I feel uncomfortable which last for maybe 5 min

Eating out is the worse! Especially when theres no bathrooms lol..One time I went to BBQ'S and I felt uncomfortable. I was searching for the nearest bathroom just in case I needed to use it and when I looked over, it was packed! I got scared and started to eat realllyyyyy slow lol

Sometimes I feel like people are watching me. From the time I sit down till I get up. I usually get a salad at this pizza place and seating are extremly limited. I feel like their timing me like "damn this girl been sitting here eating a salad and shes not done yet? people need seats!" lol...I have to play around with my food at times or with my phone so it can look like im distracted and thats why im taking so long. From an outsider, they wouldnt understand why it would take someone 30 min- 1 hour just to eat a salad.

My birthday is sunday and I want to go to Red Lobsters. I feel the need to sit close to the bathroom just in case something doesnt want to go down lol

Im so concious of the band (which is a good thing) but I feel like I have a fear of eating in public at times

Sometimes I have no problem at all! But other days it just pops up. I stay away from certain foods such as hard meat and chineese food and other foods that I know wont go down

Getting an unfill is NOT an option for me lol Although I feel uncomfortable at times, I still get full for maybe 4 hours off small portions. I like the rate in which Im losing, it took me 9 months to get restriction and I dont want to mess it up

Anybody fear eating in public at times?

Sleswick- I ate salad bc of my busy schedule with taking 7 classes, internship, and workstudy...When it came to eating, I had everything down pack. Would drink my choc live right shake 4 Breakfast eat an orange and bananna 4 snack then when Im close 2 school I would grab a salad n eat..,either a salad or a piece of fish..I found that the salad kept me full alot longer though, but I think its cause they added alot of crutons and chicken. Even though it souds fattning but it doesnt harm me because I manage to lose 5 pounds every week from it :w00t: sometimes I get stuck on my first few bites of the salad so I have to sit there and wait 5-10 minutes and then it will all go down

Micky- lmaoo that story is funny. I understand what you mean because I get stuck within the first few bites and I hate it! But once I spit it out a few times I can eat everything lol thats so wierd.

Lindajs- I think when she said "plugged" she meant throwing up

I had my 4th fill 1 wk ago today. For the first few days I could only get liq. down. As the days have passed I been getting better, My hsp & I went out to eat last night and I only got soup because I was afraid to try anythig else and I did just fine. Today I can eat most anything (in small Qtys of course) so this is really new to me even though my band date was Dec. 31, 09 I am just now at my sweet spot?? Anyone else get better after a week?? Will it get any losser??:w00t:

The band becomes lose around your stomache after you lose alot of weight, thats why they encourage us to continue getting our fills after a great amount of weight loss
