So after I had Fluid taken OUT of my band in October 2011, and after gaining 20 lbs, I finally got the courage to go back to my Dr. and get a fill... 18lbs I gained

I had my fill today, and just ate some broth for dinner (Drs.' orders) i am SO HUNGRY and craving sweets... Im full, but I still want something. Water is helping a little - hopefully I get back on track and get motovated to work out and get my a$$ in gear!!!!!!!!!!

How do I combat these cravings/urges... i feel lost again

Have you tried gum? Helps me.

In the beginning I drank a lot of Crystal Light fruit punch.

what about suggar free popsicles, and crystal light and plain ice Water?

Protien shakes to "kill " the hunger? And just trying to focus on getting back on track.

Protein shakes help allot.

Also go to myfitnesspal.com and record everything you eat, and do.

Like walking or working out in a Gym, it's available to you, other then that you have to wait untill you get

possibley another slight fill. So take control.
