I've had some what of an epiphany this week!!!
Last week I posted about a bit of a light bulb moment about needing to change things along the way to make the most out of my band.
In that, I decided to do a lot more research and re-educate myself about how the lapband works.
This week I've realised that I've been eating too much slider foods and not enough of the stuff that will send the signal to my brain that I am satisfied, being foods that need to be chewed well and pass through the band at a steady pace.
I'm nearly 8 months out and I've just had this realisation now.
I have to say though, that I really need to give a huge big shout out to @Bandista. I've always seen the articles at the end of your posts and have sometimes gone into them but haven't really read and understood them. This week however, I took the time and read and re-read and really took the time to let it sink in and fully understand it. Thanks so much, you've made a huge difference to my understanding and I will be forever grateful
