My dietitian said something interesting to me on the last visit to her. She said that most of the time we mistake hunger pains with being thirsty. Maybe try drinking some water, well this works for me. Learn something new everyday.

I would say that the pains are from the surgery, its a big surgery that you had. I was told by my doctor to have 50mls of any liquid every 30 mins for the first four days and then work your way up. At a meal you should be having 200mls by the end of the 2 weeks. But that is what my doctor told me, you might be different, but I would ring and ask your doctor.

Just wondering how much your first fill was. Mine was 5mls which I think is the same as 5cc

lol dont know where my post went ...... But anyway shortgal what is sweet spot ?? lol I still have mummy brain kbinaz I take it that your cc is the same as our mls... well I think anyway, can anyone tell me if this is right ???

How long have you had yours for shortgal....if you dont mind me asking

Thanks for that shortgal.....Im eating soft foods, bake Beans, cassaroles etc etc... I had my first fill on 17th so three days ago...It would be interesting what everyone else had for their first fill. Amanda

Hi all, the subject says it all. I have had a friend who has been banded for awhile now, and she was saying that she thought that maybe 5mls for my first fill was way to much. I have a 9ml band also could anyone tell me if it is a small band or large band. :biggrin: It is also affecting my eating, Im not able to get much down......PLEASE help Thanks Amanda

Hi all, thankyou so much for your help. I craved in last night and eat a bit of homemade pie, I had done 8 days of the 2 weeks liquid and I just broke, I feel so bad, but Im sure that Im not the only one that had done this, well I hope not anyway.

Hi all, I have 6 days until I have my lapband op, and I have no idea what Im going to eat for the first 2 weeks of the liquid diet...Could anyone give me some ideas/recipes for clear Soups...or any things you had in your first few weeks... I do have the pureed food worked out (I have an 8 month old, so Im taste testing all his food)...Please I would love any bodys help on this. Thanks Amanda
