And now we are at the business end of band......

Hi All,   I am now 15 weeks into my band 'journey' and it is all going pretty well. My weight-loss is great - I have lost 20.5kg (45lb) in that time. But, I have to say that I am starting to stuggle with the mental side of things. This is a 2 sided dilemma. a) what to eat :tounge_smile: what to do when i dont eat   I have 6ml of fluid in my band and eating is ok, but not always easy. I have only thrown up once, but find I am having difficulty deciding what to eat. Avoiding bread is really h

Part 3 - Second Fill

Hey All, Well yesterday I got my second fill and it wasnt as bad as I thought, although it wasn't great. I had put on weight, about 100grams (about 22oz I think???). The Doctor wasn't fazed by it at all, saying that this stage of the band was 50/50 when you dont feel restriction. As I already had 4ml she was unsure how agressive to be with this fill. 1ml is the usual increase, but as I had felt no restriction at all we tossed around the 1.5ml and then decided to go with a compromise of 1.3m

At the moment it feels as though I have wasted my money on having the surgery - and it is money that my family could have used for other things.

Here we go.........

Hi Everyone (Anyone?), Please bear with me as this is my first blog ever..... I hope I dont bore everyone to tears. I am 29 days into my post-op lapband surgery and all is going well. Too well. I have had one fill of 2mls, which brings me to a total of 4mls, and have not experienced what I think to be 'restriction'. I notice that at meal times I cannot eat as much as I usually would, but I still get hungry between meals. Hopefully my next fill (12 days from now) will get me in line.
