New, Need Support and Friends :) 25 f uk with gastric band.

Hey everyone im jennifer, 25 live near london. I have struggled with my weight since i was about 18, depression and insecurities have lead to my weight gain . I got my Gastric band in October to help with my comfort eating obsession. even when i got over being depressed i was so used to over eating i ate at any excuse celebrations, excitement, boredom its a cycle i have had for 7 years and really cant break.

I went to weight watchers lost a stone and a half put it back on and doubled it i really tried on weight watchers and felt like wow i can do this and stick to it however due to being so emotional i again went into depression mode so when i doubled that weight it was like i HAD to do something drastic. i am not one of these gastric patients who have the band so tight they cant eat i just want to be able to control food and therapy and diets where not working for me.

My band has helped me control them but what people dont know is you can cheat very easily with the band could easily have 12 packets of crisps luckily im not a sweet person YET. im struggling mentally with this change of eating less and trying to be more healthy cutting carbs down having more protien

i would like some support and would like to be able to support other people also. i have never been taught about nutritional information but now im making it my motive to learn and it would be lovely to meet some new people xxxx
