Before the band FOOD had control: After the band YOU have control
Each person develops a unique and personal relationship with food over time. Each individual also develops a unique relationship with their gastric band. With monitored adjustments of the band the appropriate level of control that you wish to attain over food can be achieved and maintained.
The band assists you to have control over the amount of food you eat, control over the speed at which you eat, control over feelings of hunger. The amount of control that each individual needs varies and is influenced by a variety of factors.
It's all about control:
- People who experience food addiction are unable to stop eating and are controlled by food
- People who are emotional eaters control their feelings with food
- People who are comfort eaters are drawn to food when feeling stressed, sad, bored, etc.
- People who really enjoy food are controlled by their love of food
- People pleasers accept all food offered and give control to others
- People who feel empty inside control this space by filling it with food
Learning to adapt to change and how to experience control in a healthy way takes time. In our modern society we expect things to happen quickly. It is so easy to get carried along on the super technology highway. Having control over food with the help of the band will encourage you to slow down, to function at a more relaxed and health-promoting pace.
Fill the band with fluid instead of your body
