Hi

I have been the same weight for a month now. I was banded in July and was doing fine but the carbs and crap started to sneak back in. I have had 2 fills and I'm finding every time I try to eat healthy foods like salads get stuck and so does a lot of Protein eg red and white meat. It kind of disheartens and demotivates me to eat well. I need a kick in the bum or a mini plan to break the junk food/carb cravings which I think are being made worse by severe pmt. has anyone got any menu plans or tips to help steer me back to better food? The worst is both my partner and I have been so lazy with preparing food that dinner often is late and not very healthy. Help me I don't want to ruin all my hard work. If there are any Australian/Melbourne people I would love some face to face peer support.

back tp post-op liqids, clean out you house from tempting foods, track every bit, stop the salads if they bother the band, I make a a stew with tons of vegetables and stew meat it keeps me on track. gl

You know what you need to do. Now just go and do it!

I have been stuck at the same weight for about 2 months now. I don't have any trouble eating anything, but I have noticed the carbs creeping back in. It's the holidys, so I guess that means more temptation. All that aside... I am down 30 pounds (I'm a low BMI patient), but my hair was falling out so bad that people were starting to actually notice!! I have noticed that with my plateua has come some new hair growth and a serious slow down in the hair loss. I am just going to ride my plateau out for a while. I actually think t has more to do with my body protesting than it does with what I am eating. Long story short.... Just make sure to journal your food. It keeps you honest and helps you know when the problem is you, the band or your body! Hang in there. You will get there!
