Sharon. Has had it removed, she is now on Atkins diet, as her daughter and son,

I do have light almond milk so will give that a go,thanks for the idea, I normally have a coffe at McDonald .... Nothing else, but I guess the question is how many skinny coffee drinks should i be having ??

I saw a lady on tv (had lap band) few years ago, she had gained her weight back. but drank her cals in skimmed coffee latte, I love a milky coffee, but I am now thinking twice, as I am not sure of cal content, she was sent for an exray and it was deemed she needed a fill, I do not want to drink my cals but they are so nice and fill me up for hrs,

I love red wine I miss red wine and I want one, I also love love champagne what to do that is the question ?

Yesterday, I am sure I made a bad choice, I woke up had a green tea, set off to work 8am, felt very light headed, wore clothes for winter and unusual for this time of year in UK it was hot,so I was cooking, however I came over very dizzy head spinning and wobbly felt I was goingdp to pass out, I had a tuna pot with me, eat half full, still felt weird just wanted to lie down, went to health shop bought whey protien drink and stated to feel better, came home, after finished my shift, had home made soup, went to bed, put on weight today, so the moral of story eat before work plan my day, eat more cals any other advise cheers

I have same fill as you banded 1st Oct, I find I am fine till late after ion then I get start to eat loads, not loosing anything, worried as I do not do any excersise due to work commitments, plus not sure about food choices, I don't count cals or weigh my food, I eat most things and have no probs, it's hard to know if you are doing this band thing right x chin up x

Only 6 wks in and I am not a big drinker now, but I would love a glass of red wine, but to scared....... I find my shelf looking at people in pubs with a Red and missing the occasional drinky pooh

I am in London Harley Street, had my first fill, no pain at at. Found out I had 4ml surgery I have a small band, I have been given a 1.1/2 fill So now I now have 5 1/2 mls, just had liquids, and going to IMAX London to see the yummy James Bond keep you posted thanks for your support guys x

Thanks guys x

Feeling nervous, about first fill in London Uk tomorrow, although I did have a 4ml fill on surgery day, I did loose a bit of weight, during swelling and liquids, then it stopped, I do not feel any restriction, i can eat a fair amount, I was told not to count calories yet? I don't weigh anything either, do you think I am going wrong in that department, I am now 6wks into my journey. Hope to loose more in the next 6wks.
