    Tobi's Band :)

    Hi Tobi! Have missed you! I've had kind of the same problem and have hovered around the same weight for the last 6-8 weeks or so. Really struggling to make the right choices and, like you, am an emotional eater. Here's to kicking butt for the next six months!! x

    The Banders Saturday Weigh In

    Well I'm back, have been hiding for a while because I've been struggling and couldn't face owning up. I'm now back on track and have got rid of the lbs I gained in the last couple of weeks. Now weigh 16st 12 & 1/2lbs so feeling happier. Had a teeny weeny fill last week but it seems to have...

    2lbs for me so half a pound into the 16s, which I'm counting as a victory even though it's only half a pound under 17 stone. Hope everyone has had a good week x

    Help!

    Maybe you're not eating enough? Maybe try really upping your intake for a couple of days and then go back to normal, see if that jogs you along a bit... I'm no expert I'm afraid x

    The Banders Saturday Weigh In

    Had a very bad week and gained 2 & 1/2lbs :( thought about hiding and not posting but the public shaming might help! Have felt really hungry and eaten loads of crap. Must try harder... Well done everyone who didn't gain!

    The Banders Saturday Weigh In

    Hell yeah Meggie! You're rocking it! I stayed the same this week too, expected it after last week's big'un :) Plus I got choccies for valentine's day and there's a reason we don't normally have chocolate in the house!!! Sorry you've been poorly Sharon, I'm sure it'll drop right back off once...

    Drinking at meal times

    The way we understand how the band works has changed because of newer research so I was also told the advice about not drinking was out of date. I avoid drinking with meals anyway because it makes me feel bloated but five mins after I'm fine and I drink right up to meal-time. I'd follow the...

    Scared to eat

    I had horrible wind pain for quite a long time (around 10/11 days), you just need to have faith that it will go. If you think the soup isn't agreeing with you then try something else. You have to be on liquids for 2 weeks so maybe try mixing it up...

    The Banders Saturday Weigh In

    1 & 1/2lbs for me, was amazed as had a really bad week. Maybe the time of year has something to do with our food choices at the moment? I always feel less motivated and a bit more glum in Jan/Feb so eat crap to comfort myself. Need to stop that!! Have been v good last few days to compensate for...

    Post op review????

    Maybe give them a call in the morning to explain the difficulty you'd have getting there. It'd be pretty horrible doing that journey at your stage of recovery and they shouldn't be giving such little notice when you've paid for this service! I expect they can review you over the phone and...

    Post op review????

    A nurse at my local clinic called me around that time to check on me. Haven't heard about people having to attend appointments before, especially at such short notice and when you still can't drive. Do they mean they're going to call you? Otherwise seems weird... How are you doing? x

    Newbie soon to be bandit !

    Mr Super was fab. He was much friendlier on the day of surgery than at the consultation (when he was very business-like) and instilled confidence when I was very nervous. I strongly recommend him :) Have you booked?? x
