DP's diet, what is he playing at?

[LoveMySorrow]

I used to know a man a few years ago who took his child to the same club as my children went to after school. This man was morbidly obese, very shy and unhappy. I never really spoke to him but used to see him around all the time.

A few months ago I bumped into someone who had a vague resemblence to this man. He smiled at me, I strained my eyes and suddenly realised it was the same man, only much, much smaller than the last time I had seen him. I barely recognised him.

We got talking and he told me he had lost 12 stone since last year. I was like "How on earth did you manage that??" and he told me "I'll be honest with you, I had a gastric band fitted. I then lost 12 stone within a few months and I feel great".

This conversation was a few months ago now and we began a relationship. I still struggle to believe this is the same man I used to see a few years ago.

Things have been good, but the more time I spend with him, the more I worry about certain things. Mainly his diet.

He eats small portions simply because he has to but he is still eating junk food and has a terrible diet. He has crisps, bacon butties etc for his breakfast, sausage rolls, buns, donuts etc for lunch and take-away food a few nights a week as well as lots of chocolate and sweets.

My worry is that as soon as this gastric band is taken out, he will put all the weight back on again.

I can't understand how someone can eat such a crap diet after having lost so much weight through drastic measures. I'm starting to wonder if I should be involved at all.

When he had the band fitted did he have counselling?

I was under the impression that the two were supposed to go hand in hand ie you are
re educated re diet/healthy eating and offered counselling(or similar) in case there are underlying issues.

The band alone is clearly not enough.

Would he go to his GP?
