slimmy120

yep if i sip sip sip not guzzel not a problem, but gonna see if can get very slight unfil too. thanx at least i know now happens to others too.

I had my op back in sep 2007 no problems, few weeks ago had slight refil as was starting to eat more, but last 1 to 2 weeks if drink cold drinks fast up it comes, if slip very very slow no problems, can anyone else relate to this? food not problem same as before just eating alot less.

I am able to eat a roll, or 2 slices of pizza, about a cooked cup of rice or pasta -- no not all at once but does portions, does it mean i am needing a refill? problems band not working?? had band for 3 years this september coming.

Cute Pie noticed you are doing well with your weight loss, keep it up

Well this time will ensure make a yearly visit even if fill not needed just to make certain band ok, but you are a few years out and doing great,so you are a great example. For some reason all my friends who have had it done had their band slip, so had this initial terror of not wanting to get refill after initially hitting sweat spot, even though had stacked on weight as was terrified would end up too tight and then have band slip,or band cut into my stomache.

I had a fill 11 days ago and since then if i smoke i get indegestion and nausea anyone else have this problem? Hey yep I know good chance to kick the habit now.:wink2:

I put on over a stone after maintaining for over 2 years, went and got a fill, Doctor said I had .7 and now he has put .8 intotal. Forgot to ask if fills evaporate. For long time banisters do you get re toped up yearly or when?

Well things are getting back on track, had a fill on the 3/1nd have watched very very carefully what i am eating and excercising again as much as I can,now have lost 4 kilos in just 11 days,unbelievable,and I am drinking more water again, so yes I feel better and have started a fresh.:wink2:

Thanks for all the comments, i have been having, milk, fruit, and some protein powder, going to try the yogurt and other bits when i get bored, but hey hey hey dropped 2kilos since started doing this feww i was starting to worry.

i dont like any protein drinks has or is anyone havint milk with fresh fruit put through the blender, your thoughts pros and cons please.

I was at my goal but put on 2 stone in the last 6 onths, help do i need a fill what suggestions i am trying to excercise more but have sit down job and having to put in more hours at work, brekkie ideas etc. help

What do you do if you put on that extra 1 or 2 kg, excercise more? make notes of what you eat? What weigh daily?

Did you have anyone naggin you that now you look to thin? I am getting alot of that lately, yet I have put on a few kilos, I have generally health foods but an ice cream or choc here or tthere, I read the labels and in general you have to have a hell of alot of chocolate to have 100 calories, and yep that is what i use to do, now i have only enough for me to enjoy but obviously not overdoing on the burgers chips pies etc all the time as i did on a regular regular basis,

I notice in the last few days my stomache is really bloated out and hard, no i am not pregnant but look it, it is not approaching that time of month, have not gained weight, but have been having more dairy, and have had 2 hot cross buns and pasta today, plus other bits, no not constipated, would it be the dairy or is it he carbs distending my tummy, help hope i havent stretched pouch, no vomiting, when had icecream yes could feel restriction,help..

I have reached goal , and a friend who had the surgery done, said she goes back for a refill every year, because it evaporates, just a slight refill? My doctor said well probably wont see ou again unless you have some plastic surgery or have any problems. Should I go back once a year, if eating more, and also breads,pasta,etc. without problems?? Also how much excercise are the ones at goal doing?:thumbup:

Am at goal,was really good, now pick on the occasional small pie,etc. But noticed wheni am not drining enough water yes i eat, am certain am thirsty not hungry,got to get back in the water drinking, anyone else notice this.

Sleep proped up by two pillows that works, like when you have indigestion, high pillows so your head is raised and food can digest down. all the best, let us know how you go.

I have not been taking any Vitamins, so will get back to multi vitamins and calcium. I have een eating everything so gave up the vitamins, may take extra b supplement too.

I lately could like on latte coffee, cheese, and mcdonalds soft serve icecreams, what is causing this???? I was bad ate a sausage roll today too, don't want to sabotarge all my good work.

I am at goal, havent had my band loosend but am eating pasta and rice, have those pre made frozen dinners, i know got to watch, but having daily, do you see as a problem,am watching my cals. Will it affect my pouch??

How long have you been at goal, how long did it take you to get to goal, did you have alot of weight to lose. Now at goal, how do you tell your mind no even though you have lost weight, you will put on again if eat all that junky food.

And me and that time of month,really tired headache, just want chocolate, somethong sweet,carbs, but this doesnt help even though i tell myself it will, then i have the bad feelings after, oh help all those calories in one day, like 800 cals on chocolate and........ Any suggestions on what to tell myself? don't eat that i don't want to put on weight,don't want to be fat again.

Don't understand the teeth bit????? what? has it got something to do with being overweight, or vomitting, or someone to adjust false teeth, please explain what u meant in regards to the teeth.

It is that time of the month, yep i eat more, want chocolate, or something sweet, and carbs - pasta noodles, any ideas. don't want to slowly put on all the weight i have lost,also really tired so cannot excercise, absolutely buggered. Any suggestions, vitamins, etc. greatly appreciated.

Yes I have lost 100lb and mine really visable, if you remember where you saw the picture, please let me know,Thanx. Oh and already I have had mine put in as deep to the muscle as possible.
