Thanks for your support. I think I'll definitely try the flavoured Water tip! Hopefully that'll make a difference. Thank you

I was banded 2 years ago and even tho the band is great for some it wasn't for me. I had 10 mls. In a 14 band got sick at least once a day. As of the 28th I will have it removed and the sleeve performed. Good luck with yours and hope you become one of the fortunate ones.

Thank you. I'll definitely try high Protein low carb. I definitely need to avoid sugar I find for 2 weeks of the month I crave it so I'll try and avoid so I lose the cravings. Thanks. Sent from my GT-I9505 using the BariatricPal App

@@Tamster79 I have not had WL yet but wanted to offer some advice. Avoid carbs - they will make you crave more carbs. Go with a high Protein low carb diet. Many Sleeve/Bypass people use this "Pouch Reset" diet and go back to basics. Maybe it will help you as well. My NUT recommends 5-6 very small meals (50% Protein/50% Produce). No Pasta, bread or rice. If candy/chocolate is a trigger food -/avoid them. You should definitely meet with a nutritionist. Good luck!

That is frustrating, but don't give up on yourself or the lap-band. Try to find a support group or go back to your surgeon's office and talk to the nutritionist. It's never too late to recommit to yourself.
I agree that the snacking may be causing some of your problems. Try to cut those out or replace them with healthy choices or just a bottle of flavored water. The flavor surprise will hopefully make it seem like a "treat".
YOU ARE WORTH IT!!
