So afraid to eat and be disappointed that surgery didn't take appetite away. Was given green light to eat real food. Still doing Protein shakes. Is this crazy thinking?

It didnt take my appetite away either but real food satisfies me quickly now

Definitely didn't take away my appetite. After my first fill. And still hungry.

It did not take my "head hunger" away....ever. But, if you reach a proper fill level, your physical hunger should diminish. I spend a lot of time talking myself out of eating unhealthy/slider foods and I've been in the "green zone" for 2+ years. It's still a battle, but I've got a sweet tool helping me with this fight. I love my band.

And, I was banded over 3 years ago and I still have 1-2 Protein shakes every day. To me, they are a simple way of getting extra protein, I like them, and they satisfy me. I don't do well with a lot of meats and solid protein. I still eat too fast. That being said, I like the "tightness" of my band and haven't had a fill/adjustment in over a year.
