Hi Sam :) You are preaching to the choir, sister! (Apart from my binge wasn't a day, it was a couple of months :D). These things do happen and it seems as though you have talked reason into yourself pretty quickly. I think we will always have days where we just go nuts and eat awful things...

haha @puddytats too much information!!! :P @SAM55 isnt it just the best when you start being able to basically walk in to any shop and just pick things up? I got a top in the sale at wallis last friday for a tenner, only a size medium too :rolleyes: good work girlie xx

@Neticak haha! The bloody cheek of them sometimes. I don't think they always realize just how much effort making something tasty that is low fat can be:rolleyes: I totally get what you mean about it being reversible. I just couldn't stand the thought of having any part of my stomach cut away...

@MissB'sjourney Hey hun, and sorry to hear that but you have to do what you think is best. The band is not something to get done unless you are 100% sure of what it entails. I hope that you will manage to get some answers in the next six months that will help you with your decision. My mum also...

Hi Jill, Honestly I think that getting the band has been the best decision of my life, but I was scared and panicky too- I think the feelings you have are completely normal. As long as you know the band is only the tool that helps and you are willing to really try, I am sure you will be just...

Helllooo Neti! I did drop off the grid, but now my porky bacon is back and ready to go (again) :D. You're so right, ive just resigned myself to the fact that I will always be on some form of diet/healthy eating mission for the rest of my days, but six stone down is better than nothing! I really...

Hi Jill! Not creepy at all :D Welcome! I know what you mean, when I was first banded (four years ago on the 12th!) this whole site was full of banders but I think other kinds of WLS surgery seem to be way more popular now. It was always important for me to have something that was reversible...

Hi guys! Oh Mindy, poor you! Hope you start feeling better soon! I have had to take myself in hand too- finally weighed myself after a good few months off the band wagon (so to speak) and I've put on a stone :( I knew it was going to happen but i've really upset myself. Feeling quite...

Hello everyone! I have not been on here in absolutely FOREVER! Life has been very busy! I have bought a flat with my boyfriend, finished my teacher training and got a job teaching 11-18 year olds social sciences which I have just had to quit. Was roughly about 4.5 hours of driving a day and I...

Hi Lady, When I have a fill my provider (healthier weight) says I should do at least three days liquid, three days mush and then on to normal foods. During this time I make sure I have a lot of nice smoothies (innocent ones for kids are completely liquid) and soups that I make myself. If you...
