The Pocket Gastric Band Guide

!

This compact 58-page guide addresses some of the most common questions asked by 'bandsters' (those people with an adjustable gastric band or lapband).

Feedback from both our experienced and novice 'bandster' clients has been positive. Comments like "it's like you've been watching me and been writing about me! It mirrors and helps explain what I feel sometimes", "insightful", "the quotes make me realise I am not alone - to see other people have the same thoughts....", "confronting in parts, reality can be tough...".

The guide is a special selection of advice and information shared between thousands of 'bandsters' (those who have an adjustable gastric band to help lose weight) and our dietitians at Wesley Nutrition Centre. It is an 'advanced' guide that compliments the Food and Nutrition Guide for Gastric Banding.

Tips and quotes from 'bandsters' are merged with practical smart advice that addresses everyday issues such as:

      • what to do when foods get stuck
      • eating out
      • impulse eating
      • knowing when to have an adjustment
      • what to do when weight loss stalls
      • belching, burping and tummy rumbles
      • guarding against sabotage
      • breakfast solutions
      • smart choices when eating out

      • Large display is easily read

      • The bonus safety strap attaches easily to the pedometer and also clips to your waistband to protect your pedometer from being 'lost in action'.

      • Put the postcard somewhere obvious, such as on your bathroom mirror or exit door, to remind you to wear your pedometer

*maximum 110 kg (220 lb). Don't be put off if you weigh more than this because your body weight does not alter how many steps you take or how many kilometres you walk. Body weight is used to calculate calories burnt and the good news is that if you weigh more, then you probably work harder and burn more calories when you walk to carry all that extra weight!
