I can only say to you that it doesn't matter what that is called but if this is what you are doing then you are on the road to unhealthy eating. You better nip this situation in the butt right now. Stop this horrible way and stop making the excuses that you cant eat anything else. I don't believe it and you need help. Talk to your nutritionist or your nurse or your doctor. It was easy to get obese so try to start working a little harder to get yourself healthier.

I am so sorry to talk like this but do you know how important it is to start changing your life? It is time to start feeling good about yourself and being good to yourself and the life you need to live from this day forward.

What you are eating if that is what you are eating are treats only. That isn't real food.

Why are you eating easy foods? is your band too tight? if so get an unfill otherwise you could be facing erosion or slippage. You will put weight on eating the easy option high calorific foods...or lazy foods.....so get your band working and work with it...you haven't been through all this to fail now. The band is hard work but it can work...you need to diet and exercise but the rewards are great.....and you'll feel so proud of yourself. But do not put up with an overtight band...it is way too dangerous.

i'm not sure what it's called, but i read once that if you could get ice cream down and "slider" foods....you could do a protein drink or fruit/protein smoothie.

when tight, that's what i go to - but it sounds like an unfill was what you did need.

Laziness? Lol.

Honestly, I approach eating like this:

Think What I want to eat

Discount that (it will ALWAYS be a slider)

Eat the hardest thing I can think of.

In real terms I think what do I want for lunch, and my response is a cup of coffee and a couple of Cookies. Not really hungry. So my response is make a sandwich and eat that - tuna, salad vegies, wholegrain bread.

Yep, takes effort, yep, can be "dangerous" to eat, but it MAKES MY BAND WORK LIKE IT SHOULD.

I do this with everything. I very rarely eat what my first impulse tells me to because I think most people with a band gradually come to prefer the unhealthy slider foods. I think this is the major drawback of the band, but it only takes awareness to beat it. It doesnt even take willpower - I always tell myself I can have the cookies after the sandwich, I never ever want more than one.

It has taken me over 6 months for this "lightbulb moment". Now that I follow the rules - and work with the band, rather than fighting it (then sulking about the outcomes of not losing weight, pbing from not chewing enough), the pounds really are falling away.

Start following Jachut, RestlessMonkey and Jack. They talk sense and tell it how it is.
