Hi Everyone,
After a long journey of yo yo dieting (everything you can imagine, I’ve tried it) since being diagnosed under active thyroid, hyterectomy and menopausal about 7 years ago it’s been just one long battle. I’ve always been slim and never had to think about dieting until all of the above happened... after lots of deliberation I decided to go for a band.
Only 4 weeks in but feel really deflated and lost, hence why I’ve joined the forum to try and find like minded people going through the same experiences and hopefully when I’m a bit more of a pro, help some other newbies!!
I just feel that since I’ve hit the 3 week point my appetite has come back with a vegence. I’m having to stop myself eating more, but know I could easily.... I know the band is an aid and you have to use self restraint, as pointed out by my nurse but really wasn’t expecting to struggle so soon!
I can’t have my first fill till 8weeks because I’m going on holiday and they won’t do it before I go. This is making me more anxious!!
Am I right I’m thinking that once I start having my fills things will improve? Any advise or support would be much appreciated.
It’s a great thread, with some wonderful support! I hope to become a fully fledged member in no time and be able to share more of a positive spin on my story.
Any advise will be greatly received
