Hi, This is my first time on this forum and unfortunately i decided to come on because of the difficulties i am having with my still bad eating habits that are sabotaging my weight loss. i had my surgery done 5 months ago and have lost 20kg but should have lost more in that time. I have lost nothing in the last 7 weeks due to my eating habits. Is their someone else that has found they have drifted back into old habits as those foods go down very easily thankyou. What do i need to do to remotivate myself??? i am feeling as if it was all a waste of time

Thanks for your reply Jenny, I guess I had an expectation that the banding would not allow me to eat the foods that I find I can now eat very well. I cannot eat much solid good food as it gets stuck so the bad food has become the main food. Everytime i eat biscuits or chocolate i go through the same guilt i did before i had the banding done. I have a friend that is having this done in NSW on monday and there is a team of professionals available to her including a life coach, in WA this is not the same and you are basically on your own. At the present time i am not weighing myself at all and just doing my best when I can. Good luck to you also and I hope you have a gret weekend or week depending on when you read this message.

Thanks for the replies, I have had 3 fills, the first one at 6 weeks after op, the second a double fill and the third a normal fill. My old eating habits do not relate to feeling hungry they relate to the grey matter between my ears which, has me eating cake, chocolate etc as it goes down easlily and once i start can't stop. I have told my Doctor and the response is that i need to find altrenative foods and try harded to control these old habits. I asked for no new fill last visit as there are to many solid foods I cannot eat now so thought another fill would make eating more difficult.
