i am so jealous when i read that you can eat sunday roast, vewgetables and stew hahahahahah i wish. g

theres defo internet but i thought i had to pay for it. but it was august i was there may have changed

god thats rubbish, i also had a problem nd it was the tubing that was pierced, what are they asking you to pay. PM me if you want to chat about it. g

HiPaul I really would not worry about tit unless its unbearable, the port can take months to heal and as bobo says sometimes you may slightly move it, but it heals, try not to worry to much, i still from time to time feel a little pain near port and i am 14 months out. g

hi freckle, just a wee question, how lonf before you go to bed do you last eat or drink. gx

Kerry Please do not think that its way to early, i was banded last feb and took till aug/sep for it to work, ok i had some issues, but you need to be patient. you aint wasted your money trust me. gx

Hi all JUst thot i would post this as being vert tight restricted for some time now and the constant battle with what the hell am i going to eat today, i managed to eat out on saturday at wagamama, the japanese place i think and they do a yatsui curry which is breaded sweet potato, aubergine and butternut squash with sticky rice and a nice curry sauce, well for a change i was able to eat 50% of the portion and my god it felt so satisfying to be able to eat something that seemed wholesome. Incase anyone is on the same boat as me then give it a go, good to be able to eat food again hahahaha. g

Hi JO NO your not there yet, it is a good habit to attain to stop as soon as you feel it sticking as when you are properly restricted then by god you will know about it and if you feel it sticking and are still chewing then you have went to far. Its amazing how you adapt to not eating much dont get me wrong some days i am hungry and just cant eat others you have to force yourself to eat or you do feel weak. When restrcited if tight you will be lucky to be able to eat chicken or any meat, i have found frozen chicken from asda either raw or the cooked stuff 400g bad when cooked is very very tender and can slip easier, so defo one to try as I had just normal chicken breast yesterday and just could not get it down. I tend to live of rice and sauce with a little chicken, and surprisingly you done get bored. Gx

Freckles Am sorry to say but your body is in starvation mode and is holding on to the fat, get yourself some meal replacments and force em in. gx

Shoes I would not worry to hastily, at my last fill i could eat bread and meat however all i got in was 0.5 and that made a huge difference, so getting 1 ml out is a lot and i think i had that removed i could eat too, but i understand what you mena by feeling hungry again as when ur tight u just dont. Get a wee 0.5 put in and see. gx

Great news congratulations. gx

aw thanks barbs, i am bordering on blushing here. I am pleased you feel a difference with fill, that means the next one should be u at sweet spot. Keep it up. gx

Al your probably right, thanks for the support. g

hi mags yes throat seems to have settled, i went to docs and got an antibiotic as i hope it was an infection and not my band as i was reluctant to have any defil especially when i have good controlable restriction. I hope to be at my first target by summer and hope when i get there that i dont want to loose more, i need to get the weight out my head and focus on inches as the training i am now doing is putting on muscle but my shape has changed imensely. How r you doing. gx

homecare thats great news well done you must be chuffed, it doesnt seem that long as u were after me but suppose ive had my issues:blushing:. Its amazing the difference 0.3ml can make, its a tiny ammount as well.

hi shoes yeh am good, got a fill 4 weeks ago and was meg tight, i tend to find that i have to just stick with it for 3-4 weeks allbeit i am eating nothing, but then it relaxes enought for me to eat a little. The thing i really notice now is that i just dont feel hungry and have to force myself to eat, especially for the ammount of training that i do, i was getting really tired t night last week but that coz i was lucky if i was eating a tin of soup and a couple of spoons of rice, not too good, but relaxed a bit now, so it 2 tins of soup and 3 spoons of rice now, oh and the mandatory daily intake of chocolte ot cake. My weight is now at 8.5 lost so really pleased, i am only 6 pound off the magic 20 stone mark, my target is 17.5 as with my build i dont think i will get down any more or infact want to, my waist has went from a 58 to a 42 whereas my chest was 58 and has only dropped to 52, but i guess my training has a lot to do with that. gx gx

hi shoes thts fantstic well done on your weightloss. gx

hi all its nice to read all u newbies re moving along nicely on your path. I have question for experienced guys with tight restriction, has nyone had a really sore throat, it may just be coincidence but its been sore roughly the same time as my last fill, i am eating very little and having to supplement a little as i am a bit drained at night due to lack of food, i mean 2-3 spoonfulls and its game over, even std tin of Soup takes 30 mins to eat, but my throat is really sore. anyone had this. gxx

mmmm hard one, id say its a bit much going by the length of time itl take but it would mean u get it quicker. Go for it. g

I would have to say being at sweetspot is great but i now understand what dr chris said about it helping with your hunger, i could never get my head round this but i am sitting with a mug of tomato soup, thats all just a std tin, i am half way through it and having to force myself to eat it as i really am not hungry at all. G

jo thats a fantastic start well done keep it up. gx

Hi Wannabe MAny thanks for your kind words, yes i am delighted at the moment, even with my hassles however they were delt with first class i cant complain and I am well on the track to rech my goal by the summer, another 3.5 stone. Oct will be on you before you know it, its the right thing to be doing, going by your picture u wont belong in loosing your excess. gx

Thanks Allan, its ur birthday this week is it not. g

good effort paul itl be all over and done with soon. Good luck g

best of luck to all you guys going this week, you will be fine, one piece of advise is be patient and you will get there, everyone who had done fantastic with there band has taken them time so stick with it and before long you wil be looking back on this week with a smile on your face and a fr smaller tummy. I love my band right now, i have my perfect sweetspot, i can eat things but a tiny ammount, and have lost nearly a stone in 10 days wooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooo. g
