Gastric Band Reset

Over time, habits may start to form that could be hindering your weight loss journey! Is it time to RESET?

Some things to get you started!

Drinking whilst eating - OK little sips occasionally are allowed if following the 20+ rule. But swilling mouthfuls of food through a band defeats the object. Try leaving the drink and see how you get on

Grazing and not doing mealtimes - We know meals are smaller and sometimes there is a need for smaller portions regular or additional snacks to hit your dietary requirements, but where you can try your best to stick to a regular meal plan rather than just grazing continuously throughout the day

Adding sauces/gravy’s - If you struggle with textures ask why? Is your band too tight or revisit the 20+ rule, this may have just got a little lapsed

Falling into the slider trap - meals should be a chewing challenge stop and take a look

Dry meats we all know can be a struggle for most, rather than cross them off your list try a different cut or way of cooking to add variety back into your diet

Not hitting your hydration levels - aim for 2ltrs. Sounds a lot, but divide this up over the day and it really is quite achievable if you keep the little sips up

Forgetting your Multivits - try get back into the habit of taking these daily, most surgeons/providers do recommend this

Convenience grabs - never a good meal choice, sandwiches can be a struggle so other options are crisp and chocolate. Time to kick back in with the planning and prepping?

Mindless munching - boredom eating beware, a lot of cals can be consumed without you really even noticing. Try a food diary for a few weeks, sometimes a reality check can put things back into perspective

Got a little lazy with your exercise regime - shake it back up, spend less time on your phone or couch and get moving. Always a feel good factor that bring lots of benefits, not only to the weight loss journey

Thinking more fluid equals more weight loss - taking a band too tight will only add problems not weight loss - this is were a little band tweak may really come in handy - a small fill or defill can really help with the reset process
