Psychological Effect of the Band?

Jachut · January 5, 2006

OK, I think this band is having some definite undeniable physical effect. Afterall I'm eating 3 small meals a day totalling 1,000 to 1200 calories and no hunger pangs, I'm not struggling with it in the slightest.

But I also think a lot of the "restriction" I say I have is all in my head. I'm eating about a cup of food at a time, but I'm not getting stuffed, yet I know definitely to stop. Is it the expectation that a cup is all I should eat? Is it the slow and cautious way of eating that makes it easy to stop?

I dont know and I dont care. All I know is it's working. I go to see the surgeon in two weeks for my first fill, I guess it'll be very tiny because they weight's still coming off by the day - and I can still say I dont think I need a fill a month down the track.

It really is a miracle to me. I couldnt have dreamed it would work this well.

I"m so glad to hear that! Hope it works as well for me when I get banded (1/24)!!

I can't spell or pronounce Jack's term for it, for some reason, tonight - but the basic idea is that you aren't "full" or "Stuffed" you are satisfied. It's wonderful that you are stopping at this point and not testing the limits of your band.

That eating until your satisfied and then STOPPING business is what keeps thin people thin...

Congrats!!
