Oh Hun sounds the same as me a little, I could live on crackers and crispbread but as I'm getting closer to my goal weight I'm struggerling loads with my familiar foods. Also it changes from day to day, also when Im On my period!! I find over chewing crackers helps as sometimes I get lazy with that..xx

Had my band done in sept 2012 and still finding it hard on a daily basis it's a very lonely journey ..xx

What does your dietician say? Could you be over tight or maybe eating too much/too quickly?

Crackers are easier than bread for me to eat, but again my tightness varies as Carre said, due to time of the day / totm / how tired/stressed I am.

Pick up the phone to your dietician ... It's not worth having pain over x
