I find days I'm not active or busy ill still push it with the picking and eating. But listen I'm 46 and I've been overweight most of my adult life so its hard to change a habit if a life time in a few months. I hate myself when I cheat on a few biscuits or crisps but 1 thing I know is that what I eat is not a fraction of what it would have been pre band. The hole pack would have gone! Have you had a fill recently? As I get heartburn for a few weeks after a fill. It's a tough journey and one I don't honk were prepared For here in the UK. Emotions will definitely be up and down, some days I'm ecstatic at what I've achieved then I see others loss and I think why can't I be at that loss. I know we're all different but we always compare x It's good to talk to others who are going through it too x

How you finding it? Xx

I'm from the UK and was banded in September 12. No regrets from me Julie x

I'm much the same. It was discomfort not pain. Just painful shoulder with the gas but yes I would! Good luck

I'm in the UK and was banded in September. It's a struggle but worth it. Down nearly 50lb xx good luck Julie

Not near Glasgow but how are you struggling?

You look fantastic. Well done from another UK bander xxx

You look great. It's do good seeing before and after pics as we forget

My weekend breakkie is usually a slice of wholmeal seeded bread topped with some spinach, mushroom a slice of turkey bacon with a poached egg on top yum. Or normal 1 egg omelette with low fat cheese x

Dd Hi Donna Do you have My Fitness Pal app. That's a great way to add banded friends and view what they eat for ideas and inspiration? I'm mummajuju on there add me! I've found that it takes a while to know how many calories a day makes you lose and not stall. I'm on 900 now and scales moving the right way. I was banded in September so still pretty new. Julie x

I've added you guys If your using phone app easiest way I find to add friends: 1 go to google/safari and put in www.myfitnesspal 2: log in and tap on community Tab top right 3: find members tab 4: then just add user name in the add user name or email box and search 5: the member gets displayed so press add as a friend

The mozzarella 1\4 pounders are really good!

Does anyone recommend these products. They seem quite high in protein x

Just a quick note to say that MFP is a great way to cheer each other on and get inspiration from viewing other food diaries etc but some people have their food diary private. I can only think this is because they haven't checked the box in settings to allow friends to view. It's simple and takes a minute to do. But totally respect those of you who wish to remain private

When physically putting in a cup to measure do you chop the food up first?

I'm in UK and they've just started a whole new boosting campaign if her stuff on TV adds.

Hi it's great advice - thanks x

Definitely need to try this. Nearly 6months in lost 42lb but been stuck at that For weeks If anyone is on MYFITNESS PAL. add Me mummajuju Xxxx

Think I'm now friends with you all! Just been reading on the 'slow loser' thread and all are saying add more protein to lose quicker so I need to get on with that AS OF NOW!!

I'm on a major stall too so would live to know what your oncologist suggests x

Mussels and prawns low calories high protein. My saviour x

I found an easy way to add via iphone. Go to google search and pit in my fitness pal rather than the app and log in. Then on top tabs hit the community tab then find friends. Add the name and voila request sent. Took me ages to find out how to do it lol Mummajuju
