Which is the hardest for you? Head hunger or physical hunger? For me I think it is head hunger!!! Sometimes, I have the nibbles and nothing I can do will take my mind off food. I can ignore my tummy growling for food though.

Even DH is watching me like a hawk. He caught me trying to nibble(on healthy stuff) and he could hardly yell at me because his mouth was full of peanuts!!! I just asked him if he was enjoying the peanuts.:eyebrows::faint:

Head hunger is the worst for me. It strikes when I am bored, or when I do something I used to always eat during; like playing on the computer... >.<

I can't eat in the morning due to my pills getting stuck though I have an Unjury shake. I get really, really hungry about 2 p.m. so I have breakfast. I don't seem to have head hunger. I'm really hungry. So I eat breakfast at 2-3 p.m. and then dinner at about 6-7 and then I'm hungry about 3-4 hours later so I snack late at night. I eat nuts, cheese and protein except for the ice cream cone I have every night. I love that ice cream cone. I don't care if it's fattening. But that may explain why I lost 40 pounds and stopped. I have weighed the same for a year--no further weight loss. I figure it cost me about $250 per pound so far. I'd really like to lose 10 more pounds so it will only have cost me $200. But on the bright side, I only take 1/2 of my diabetes pill now. If I take a whole one, my blood sugar drops too much. Things are better.

$82.98.

That's what my weight loss costs so far per pound. I hadn't figured it out in quite some time so I'm feeling a little better about $7800 at this point. :eek:

Cool. I paid $340.42 Cdn per pound. Worth every penny. :biggrin1:

Since I was just banded, I've been forcing fluids a little at a time--but today I noticed "being hungry" for the first time. My stomach was even growling. I ate half a cup of blended pea Soup and I actually "feel" restriction even though there shouldn't be any yet.

I licked a rice crispy treat and took a nice long whiff of it as my husband ate his "cookies" today. No harm done. It didn't make me want to eat the entire plate of treats. In fact, I felt pretty darn satisfied knowing I didn't want any. Neat trick, that!

Not necessarily a matter of should/shouldn't. Some people (I'm one of them) are able to acheive a good amount of restriction with the band itself. In other words, it causes enough restriction to start getting the job done, deflated.

Hence my first PB was 3 days post op. :faint:
