Hi there, i was banded last april and not had much luck with it yet :frown: Was wondering if anyone else has been or due to be banded in Derby uk could really do with a diet buddy.

Thanks for the replies, guess im just feelin sorry for myself and ive got pmt lol I will deffinitely talk to the nurse next week and tell her whats happening, thanks tish Betsy B thanks for the advice i have been looking through what other people are eating and picked up some ideas Vlp i know i really dont drink much at all so will deffinitely up that and start and write down what i eat: im sure this will help and work on eating more Protein. Thanks I really think i should of researched more before the band as i was so eager to get it done i must admit a really didnt know anything about it oops:rolleyes2: I will keep looking at everyones advice thanks all

Hi Tish :confused: You've posted on my thread this morning, thanks for your words of support i appreciate it, was just wondering how many fills you have had and how much is in your band now and probably a very stupid question but how do you know you are restricted ie what does it feel like Sorry for all your questions but it would be really helpfull to know

Hi Everybody, I was banded in Derby uk in April 2009 since then i havent lost anything!!!! honestly i could cry and feel like giving up the band obviously dosent work for me I have had 3 fills total of 6.5cc in 10cc band. Although there are certain foods which i struggle with (chicken, fish, thick bread) the rest goes down fine with small bites..However i never feel satisfied i could just carry on eating, i eat the same size portion as my other half. Im due to see the nurse next week (have already cancelled one appointment as i am sure she wont beleive me) i really dont know what to say to her im eating the things they tell me and although i have never put anything on there is nothing coming off. I just want to not feel hungry anymore :confused:

Hi there this is my first post, i was banded in derby on sat 25 April, i am feeling very sore at the minute and to be honest a bit sorry for myself lol. I have to be on liquids for 4 weeks but am already struggling, im not hungry but am missing the sensation of chewing food, probably sounds silly i know but i am being good and having slim fast shakes and soups but it is a real struggle.
