That's just backwards from the way I think of my own Bad Habits....

generally the Belly Beast is trying to take over the its irrational control of what's left of my little grey cells....

We all have ways of dealing with what we recognize is not a good thing though.

I have little to no hunger not because it's a physical feeling....for me it is a mental thing....

The band tells my brain I am full, therefore there is no need to eat, and the desire to do so does not exist....yet it happens even if I have not eaten anything at all.....

It is very hard to explain, but it is very real once I learned to understand it....

Then when I do eat, the band then gives me the physical feedback as to when to stop.....and I do not mind stopping, because I'm not that hungry and did not have the desire to do so in the first place.....

To this day, I have NEVER felt full from eating....not sure what other people are feeling when they say so...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
