whats with the OLD mindset???

 I do the same thing and I am 8 months out. Asked my doctor yesterday why I do this he said because the mind is very power full and it wanted you to think your still 300lbs or wants you to think your eating to much. He told me  do not get up set when you eat because he said my sleeve will not hold more than 6 to 8 oz of liquid and if your eating chili you will not be able to eat more than 4 or 5 oz and most people live on more food. He said his stomach is normal and 4 or 5 oz is nothing to him so he can eat it all. he said you eat so little that i need to be eating 3 big meals a day and 3 snacks a day and eat ever 2 hours lol. 

our minds are use to us being so big it is going to take time for our minds to see our changes i guess. I am still waiting on mine to see it lol.

me too... i hate the Addict's mind set... and now i feel like i have an anorexic mind set... where i am almost telling myself i over ate... HOW FUNNY...  i used to want to stuff my self.. now i have to force eat... and convince myself i OVER ATE>>> (NOTHING MUCH) 

this mind of mine better catch up soon.

 I know the feeling. My doctor told me yesterday that i need to eat more. that he knows i do not eat right that he knows me lol. He is right. I only 2 times a day if I do not remind my self to eat. I asked him how do you force your self to eat when your not hungry. He told me you better or your going to end up sick and in the hospital and if i did that. he will be there to yell at me because he has told me to eat 3 meals a day and 3 snacks so do not end up in the hospital he told me.

I told him I will not end up there because i do not need him to come there and yell at me like he did once before when i did not listen to him about my gallbladder. So I will have to teach my mind that i am not eating to much and that is so hard to do. Best of luck to both of us. We can do it to me we all ready did the hard part and that was to get the surgery so we can do this.

Dear Romy,
Do you think it could be from all the years of negative self/hate talk we did in our minds?  How we felt like failures so many times...often setting ourselves up for failure?  Time will change that thought pattern...soon you will realize and accept that you are eating SOOOO much less than anyone else at the table!
Love,
Teri

I dont Doubt that that is EXACTLY what it is... specially sense im at the beginning stage doubting that this surgery is going to work fo rme after lap band failure... all i can do is march on... keep my head up and do right for me!!!

BUT its EXACTLY that... negative stressful feeling we have programed ourselves...
