guys: SUCK THEM!! they dissolve!!! love them too!! Jen xx

hey guys Dont know if you have them in usa, but i eat kids vitamins!! they are like fruit gums/pastells, and they are just like sweets! i suck them rather than chew, and you get everything you need from them!! taste good too!! lol

Hey you Congrats on your weight loss journey! I cannot eat at all in the morning. From waking my band is extremely tight from sleeping flat. this lasts up untill about 12 - 1 pm when i can then eat. The doc has said that is is normal for some people, due to sleeping flat and the build up of saliva in the stomach, (wee one), I find that as the day goes on I can eat more. so my main meal is my Dinner/ supper, and a med lunch. I always have a large cup of tea coffee in the morning as I find the heat helps the liquid to go down. Hope this helps!! Jen xx

Hi all Got my band filled up to 6.5 mls and definatley feel much more restriction. I can barely eat a full anything! which is great but I still find "Head Hunger" a real nightmare! you just want to keep eating although you physically cannot! does anyone else understand what I mean? yeah the sweet things I am exactly the same when i am due, before the band It was always savoury! but i guess the fact that you can suck chocolate is a complete cheat! no chewing involved! how everyone else?

Hello everyone!! Just looking to see if someone can help clear up my question? I do not drink with my meals and i do not drink for at least 2 hours after eating! so what about Cereal? Cornflakes and milk? can these be eaten together or not??? Im sure someone knows will know something? Thanks!! Jen22

Hey guys had my 2nd fill done and up to 5mls! but still the same, can eat a full pizza!! that aint right! booked again for april!! 3rd time lucky!! ha ha

Hi guys I was also banded by Dr De bryne on 11th jan 08 and have the heliogast band too. I only have 3.75mls in my band. I do not feel much restriction. I can eat half of what I ate before but this is probably a normal portion!!lol. Going for another fill on 20th march and hopefully this will take me to 1 "cup" like i am supposed to be having!!
