Hello everyone I been banded 2 years I have lost slowly but I'm thankful for what I have lost.My problem is sweets why do they go down so good.How do I get away from this bad habit.

I am not even losing one lb per week. Not sure if it is my docs office or not' date=' but I feel like they are all about the money. I used to vp in monthly for fills and eval. when I hit a plateau, they suggested I tOo to the nutritionist and have my metabolism checked, but at an additional charge. In my opinion, if I need to see the nutritionist as part of my post OP planning, it should not be more money. On too of that, the nurse told.me that if my metabolism is slow, it did not matter how much or how little I eat, the weight is not going to come off without massive exercise. Which leads me back to thinking....why wouldn't they run those tests before surgery so I could have made an informed decision. I did my research prior to surgery, however, none of the studies or material mentioned slow metab being a HUGE issue. Basically, I am scarred from the surgery....did not find out I keloid until post OP. So those "tiny" scars that everyone has turned into HUGE scars on my stomach, and I am still ,counting calories and Varna, with very little self control. The main reason I under went this surgery.
