Got my first fill done today at the Hospital Group in Dublin....my nurse found my port no bother and tried to but 2mls in ....I drank 2 mouthfuls of water and got the tightness in my back....so my nurse told me to lay down and she took .5mls out....so in total I had 1.5mls put in today........I meet my sister for lunch .....I ate four mouthfuls and had to leave the food....the waitress asks was the food not up to standard.....I had to lie and tell her I had had a big breakfast.....I did not feel guilt at leaving the food as I could physically not eat any more food....even better I bought all size 14 dresses and tops in River Island today....my sister had to tell me to put back the size 18's I was use to getting....feel great and only 6 weeks since my operation

hey hows things good to hear your doing well word of advice after your fills dont eat till day two :eek:fluids only and keep up the good work

:thumbup:

Thanks Mr.Hips....however I could have done with that advice about 20mins ago....ate Carr Water table cracker and a slice of cheese.....and the pain in my back said it all....all well no gain without pain :thumbup:

Congratulations on your new restriction and new size clothes!!!!! Watch out for the crisps, they will get cha, LOL!!!!

Thanks Mimi

I tried four small crackers and a slice of cheddar today.....by God I was barely into cracker number three when I got the pain in my back.....I so wanted to finish eating but could not.....had to wait 5 minutes before the pain went......I never thought a cracker could be so painful :wink2: Will have to see how the crisps go ....but I doubt I will be able to eat a small can of Pringles now.......saying that feel great and everyone is saying how great I look

Cheese is good, crackers not so much...let me know how the crisps do!!!!!

HI just wondering how you find the hospital group and there post op and follow up care. I was banded oct 1 st 2011 and find any time i call they fob me off.

Hi! Starandmoon

You should have your fill 6 weeks after your operation as you would still be swollen from the operation...Cora seems to be busy and the Hospital Group seem to have too many people wanting fills coming up to Christmas hence it is hard to get an appointment....Give Emma a call and tell her you are not happy and you may have to blog your unhappiness on this forum ....you should get a date pretty quick....It will take about 3 to 4 fills before you find your 'sweet spot' I am over a year now and just got another fill which is my max about 3 weeks ago....doing well...any questions feel free to give me a shout!
