I’m down to 147kg now it’s nice to be 1/2 a bag of concrete lighter, im eating stew consistency foods and having no troubles. The lap band stops me from over eating my stomach will only hold 1 cup of food. so little meals and chew well with no high energy liquids or foods. Without the lap band i would still be eating larger quanties, its difficult to break decades of habit and addiction to a way of eating.
Before giving up sugar i recon i was close to diabetes, i need to eat to stay not dizzy or grumpy and lethargic. I feel balanced now mentally: I have more energy.
