Ugh! Sometimes I get so fed up with the tiny amounts I can eat. I just had lunch and really wanted more to eat, but I was so full, I couldn't. It made me sorta angry. I wanted more variety! Anyone else feel this way?

I didn't eat more, but I really wanted some Jello or applesauce or fruit or something else. Yet I knew that although that might be small and healthy, I was full already. I used to think that being able to eat just a tiny amount would be way cool, but now I'm sorta bummed. I really don't get past the Protein and a tiny bit of veg/fruit most times.

Just another mind hurdle to get over, I guess... *sigh*

I am sure this is just because I am a newbie, but what is PB'd?

in all honesty, I CAN NOT WAIT FOR MY FIRST FILL!!!!! I have the opposite. I have a confession to make, Bread has been really really hard for me, yet I was able to polish down 2 slices of pizza and 1 peice of cheesy bread before I felt full, And I ate it at a snails pace!!!!!! it wasn't until I PB'd that I realized, OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO?!?!?! Certain foods, I still have restriction with BUT PIZZA?!?!?!?! I get my fill on friday, and I'm gonna confess to what I did..... I think a lot of it has to do with bandster hell, but I'm so ashamed today

PB is a 'Productive Burp' and it's what happens when food gets 'stuck' above your stomach pouch, and comes back up with saliva. :thumbup: There is no bile, because the food never made it into your stomach. It's kind of like a baby spitting up their food when they are fed too fast.

Thanks for your reply, Mamadot. Makes me feel a lot better to know that this particular topic is being discussed in a support group. Means I am definitely not alone. *whew*:thumbdown:

Hey Ann, I haven't had my first fill yet, I was supposed to get it on the 17th but had to go out of town for a family funeral. My fill has been rescheduled for July 2nd. Can't wait!. Anyway I had 2 slices of pizza the other day, and it was so good. I started thinking how bummed out I would be if I would not to be able to eat the whole thing. I even wanted to eat more. I didn't stop because I was full but was using self restraint. I know the band will help with the physical part, but what about that emotional "I want to eat part" I wish they would come out with a band for the brain! I am hoping once I get my fill, that the "nothing taste as good as thin feels" mentality will kick in! That and actually losing weight might help also. I have been stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks now.

Hallelujah Girl, If you ever figure out how to develop the 'Brain Band' - I will be the first in line to buy one! You would be a BILLIONAIRE!!!! LOL :thumbdown:

Count me in also! Cuz I definitely need a brain band!
