For some reason today, I just can't get full. I have been avoiding eating bread for the most part due to carbs and the fact that I thought it would be hard to get down. Well, today got the best of me and I had to have something from Subway.

I got a 6 inch flatbread roasted chicken and only ate 1/2 of it about 11 AM. I am getting hungry now and really want the other half now. I am still way below my calorie intake for today.

I feel so guilty for eating this! I don't think I should be hungry this soon after lunch. Maybe I need a fill!

People look at this differently. I personally, eat what ever I want. I try do make health choices, but sometimes you just "need" a sub. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

I am a calorie counter, and as long as I'm in my 1200 range, I consider it ok.

Good Luck!

Well, it looks like you have done good TKW!

What is wrong with what you ate? I don't eat a lot of bread, but sometimes I really want a sandwich....and you know what I do. I buy/make one and eat it! I just make sure I log the nutritional info for it. I can't eat a foot long sub like I could back in the day, but I sure will eat a 6 inch.

Just because you have the band does not mean you won't have a day where you are just super hungry. I have days like that sometimes. I even talked to my dr.'s office about it. They told me it's normal and to just eat if I am really hungry...not head hungry. I mean stomach about to eat itself hungry! I just have to make sure I go for a healthy snack, but I will have the snack and not feel bad at all.

I second what TKW says. I too am a calorie counter. As long as I stay in my 1200 range I consider it okay too. So, if I want a cookie or chips it is okay as long as I calculate it in. To me this makes it not a diet but a true lifestyle change. I think I would fail if I never let myself have my favorites again. I am learning moderation.

3 inches for brunch and then another 3 inches? I don't see the problem either! The band doesn't promise you'll nevr feel hungry-although it does help! I find when it's really hot out I get hungry for some reason. Are you stressed about anything?

I eat Subway every blue moon. I don't have problem with eating bread but I do get them to dig out the center and toast my wheat bread. It's so good! Subway is the one food I really miss since being banded. I have had Subway 3 times since being banded.

I too have days like that where I feel like I am always hungry. I just try to be more conscience about the choices.

NJGirl32- I am actually just the opposite when it is hot out or stressed out. The band clampes up and is hard to get Water down.

I have been really stressed this week and I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I have always been a "stress" eater, but lately I have had a better handle on that. Even though I am more concious of it there will always be those "bad" days. I am not going to consider it cheating as long as I stay within my calorie range, which I have been doing. I think I just freak out and think, "I am the only one with a band trying to choke down a freakin sub sandwich?!?" I talk to so many people who are anti-bread and it had me worried!
