Hello, Just wondering if you found it to be strange or difficult getting use to your new appetite ? I was a huge eater, could out eat my hubby sometimes. Out of habit it feel so strange eating such a small amount that I do now. It kind of messes with your head. LOL I was so use to eating huge that eating 4oz is just amazing to me. I was banded on june 5th and I have such a small appetite. I have overeaten just out of habit and it does not feel good Ouch does it ache, overeating is even strange becuse its still hardly any food that I eat. Does the discomfort from over eating always stay with you ? Or is it because I am 2 1/2 weeks post op ? I am just so amazed I guess it takes some getting use to. I am so glad that I did this and got banded, I just have to work on the habit of eating. I suppose its like a smoker who quits still reaching for a cigarette. I feel like I should grab a snack then catch myself and say what am I thinking. Did anyone else feel shocked at how small your appetite is. Kind of useless to cook for myself , only three bites and all the work was for that haha. I still do though cause I have a family to feed . I see where food is in a different place in my life already. I appreciate how good it taste and eat slow to make it last. I think I eat less in a whole day than I would have in one meal. Dont mean to ramble it just amazes me to see the band do it work and I havent had a fill yet .

i totally agree with you. only this mornining i made some scrambled eggs, 2 in fact with some oat bran bread. what in the world!!!!!!! and i don't have a fill yet; now that was out of habit!!! i couldn't finish it. my daughter bless her heart; because i believe in not wasting food decided to give it to the birds, squirrels instead
