Hello all,
I'm 23 and ive had the gastric band since I was 18.
I lost about a third of my goal weight within the first year, however then had complications and had to have the band infastened for about a year. Long story short, I was in hospital unable to eat for 3 weeks (iv drips), I lost almost all my goal weight from this, (Unhealthy and by accident) but put almost all of it back on after (65%). Since then (About 2-3 years) I've sorta thrown in the towel, but I know I need to change.
I find it extremely hard to say no to food. Im cutting back my portion sizes and stopping my snacking. However, what o find the hardest is exercise. I have severe pain in one ankle (fallen arch/over pronation) and one wrist (tendonitis) which limit the exercise I can do.
Any hints, tips or words of encouragement on eating, exercise or getting back on the bandwagon would be very much appreciated.
