Think about it honestly - you eat past satisfied, but do you eat past REALLY full? To the point of feeling ill?

Most people dont, its just that that REALLY full feeling came way too late after way too many calories. And it was followed by discomfort maybe but never (for me anyway) did I eat til the point of puking. When I felt uncomfortable I stopped.

In fact I realise, I responded to hunger and fullness quite normally, its just that I was hungry too much and not full soon enough for the energy balance in my body to be right. With the LAP-BAND®, the hunger comes less, the fullness comes quicker and the energy balance was tipped the other way.

I havent had to learn to behave any differently on that score, except that I do avoid uncomfortably full becuase it really hurts, much more than it used to. So I've learned to recognise satisfied, but pretty much by default, not because I'm some perfect bandster.

It will work, dont panic.
