I am 3.5 weeks post op. I am being very careful with what I eat and have not had any desire to cheat at all. I am exercising about 3-4 times a week too. BUT, I find that I have a difficult time eating with my family. I tend to chew too quickly with them and I have a hard time just looking at the food they are eating. Im doing great with weight loss. Ive lost 30 pounds already. Have 100 to go. I get my first fill on May 23. But, I am having the worst problem feeling down about eating so differently and feeling so limited with the food that I am eating. Anyone else feel this way? :welldoneclap:

I was like this for the first 4 weeks after banding until my swelling must have gone down and now I can eat just about anything and the chewing that is required is less. But yes I will go back to eating with out them right after my fill on 5/20, you are not eating alone you are eating with all of us off on the side!

There is no better feeling when you see results (and even feel results) after weight loss. It's a feeling no food can give you! You're 30 lbs down, remember that!
