Sitting here at Panera for lunch.....I ordered a cup of soup and 1/2 tuna sandwich....that I eat minus the bread.

I have eaten since my breakfast smoothie at 5am.....

I had a taste of the soup and tuna, and I cannot continue...I have no appetite, and I simply do not want, or feel like eating anything....I'm gonna throw the whole thing out....

I have days like this...it is the band...I have no hunger at all, and no interest in food....the brand is telling my brain I am full, and do not have to eat...it's mental, not physical....

So I will wait till dinner to eat....but we'll see what and how much..

They have a great "hidden menu" as well. Lots of Protein packed choices!

I have found that lately I am getting bored with food choices but I always want to eat. Is it the band or our minds have finally changed for the better?

What do you mean by hidden menu? Just walking in the door reminds me of the over indulgent days! I had just under 1/2 of an egg soufflé today, I was trying to get past the pastry case as quickly as I could, even though my body says no, my memory way in the deep, is saying choose me, me, me- and it all looks worthy of a try. I would love to know about that hidden menu you speak of, so when someone suggest going there, I already know my choice! Thanks!

B-52 I don't see how your not being able to eat is healthy. I am not being smart either. But there is no way I would want my band that tight that I have no appetite and do not want to eat and only have a Protein drink in the morning and nothing until dinner. That is not how skinny people eat. I know you like your band tight but I don't think its healthy. Just my thoughts.
