Sunny. This could be my post this time last year. After the initial few months I really struggled. The only advice I can give you is reign it in now. Try your very best each and every day. Some days you can do it. Some days you can't!!!
Try not to let too many pounds creep on as the most soul destroying thing on this journey is having to revisit the lost pounds
This Wls really is our last chance saloon. Like you I have been EVERYWHERE else.
If it were all just about the food it would be much easier. But it's about our head - I am still a compulsive eater and binge eater all through the band/it's repair/and subsequent removal
16 months down the line I have come to recognise that its a very small number of people who have an easy journey. Even those who were flying high last Christmas and genuinely couldn't understand how others, like myself were 'abusing or wasting' our Wls tool are beginning to struggle
I don't want to be negative for the sake of it. But I do feel it is soooooo important to let the new people know how important it is to take every day, one day at a time and work the hell out of it because the honeymoon period does not last and when it ends it is terrifying - so stay in the zone for as long as possible. I had my op last August and really started to struggle with social events, special birthdays and an all inclusive Xmas holiday. By January I felt the same old feelings of failure and lost faith in my band. My whole mind set changed and I never ever got back into the zone
Stay focused over Xmas and do as well as you possibly can each day girls - I hope this helps in some way - go smash it!!!!
