    AussieSam got a reaction from CanyonBaby in What is in YOUR "SnackBag"?   
    I personally don't think snack bags are good as they might lead you to eat more what I will do instead is boil some eggs and have one when I feel like snacking it's amazing how one egg fills you up.

    I've had the band for almost six years almost and I would never convert to the sleeve I just keep learning new ways it can help. I believe the band and the sleeve do the same thing they restrict your ability to eat a lot. I did in the past consider turning to the sleeve but realised I needed to fix my head for any real success. Good luck on whatever you chose.

    I agree with Kate try and eat yogurt and almonds instead of shakes as these will give you that full feeling.

    Unfortunately as with all weight loss procedures if you don't learn proper eating habits over time you will regain most of the weight back. My good friend who I grew up with had the sleeve done 6 years ago and now he has gone back to original starting weight after losing 80 percent of his excess weight. I tell him it's not the sleeve but you he still eats the wrong things drinks a lot of liquid calories and eats a big bowl of ice cream ever night.

    It looks like you might be overworking your body have a rest day here and there and remember losing weight is not a race but a lifelong journey.

    AussieSam got a reaction from Butterfly512 in Feeling like I am taking the easy way out :-/   
    I don't see why people might say to a person you cheated you took the easy way I say to them it's my life and not yours and it's not your business what I do and how I do it. They think the surgery makes you loose the weight even if your stuffing your face in front of the Tv but they are so wrong you need to work hard to loose weight.

    What I do now to get out of the night snacking habit in front of the TV is cut up fresh veggies put them in a bowl and for a month ate them everyday after that they bored me and stopped eating at night altogether when I feel like eating at night I remember the veggies and then I no longer feel like it.

    AussieSam got a reaction from Julie norton in Lap Band in 2008   
    It sounds like me I been through it before I think what made me lose it then put most of it back on was the fact that my head was still on yo yo diet mode. I had to educate my mind and body that no longer will I yo yo. And change my lifestyle for good. Use the great tool that we have in the band and understand its a life long journey.
