So I keep my band pretty band but lately I've been stressing alot and it got even tighter to the point where i couldnt keep Water down. So I got an unfill and now I could eat a cow! It seems like anything and everything can go down in the morning and during the day, but at dinner time it's harder. Prob because I eat so much during the day right?

I need more food choices too, im getting tired of the same old stuff. Any Breakfast and lunch ideas? Also, any tips to stop eating so much i really dont want to get filled because im kinda enjoying this now im bad, i know. But hey I lost 106 lbs i think i deserve alil something now.

I am so there with you. I like to keep mine on the tight side, but after I had surgery in August it became too tight. I could barely keep anything down. So I had a slight unfill and now I can eat anything and everything. It has been a real struggle at times to choose healthy food.

First off pinkygirl want to say

you are absolutley beautiful!!!!

Secondly I understand I have an empty band right now and I'm in the second trimester of my pregnancy and it takes everything I have not to eat everything I see!!!! And literally I could because I have no restriction! Trying hard to stick to healthy but every few days I just gotta have somethin I shouldn't!!

I am having the same problem. I had 5.5 cc's and got 1.5 taken out and I can eat everything! Im going back to my surgeon on November 29th and hopefully i can get maybe .5 cc's inn. this really sucks. Have you girls ever felt like this surgery hasnt worked for you? I feel like that all the time.

The phrase " I deserve something" worries me. That is part of the type of thinking that led to us being so overweight.

I've had a hard day at work.............I deserve something

I'm tired............I deserve something

I've lost xlbs.......... I deserve something.

We need to stop treating food as a reward and treat it as fuel. But we should also be able to eat a variety of foods healthy and not so healthy. We should not have our bands so tight that we cannot eat as that inevitably leads to future problems.Instead of good and bad foods we should look on them as all the time foods and sometimes foods.

Yes possibly you could eat a cow now but you will probably find that if you make good choices and allow your band to work the way it is supposed to then you will not be as hungry as you fear.

Rewarding yourself isn't bad. Im not going to allow myself to not eat anything bad because I shouldnt reward myself. You just have to plan for it. It doesnt even have to be with food. I def reward myself in many ways and i think that's a good thing. Im not saying to eat mcdonalds or pizza for every meal but once in a while it's okay. We are human and can eat it. Why deprive ourselves?
