Hi banded 23 days ago weight loss only 11lbs, I not sure what I am doing wrong? I Do have my shakes with milk !! Breakfast then soup for lunch, can eat whole tin? The yogurt also I do like gerkin ham and laughing Cow yummy, finding it hard to drink loads of water, at first I could hardly eat anything much, now I don't seem to feel a restriction! My first fill nov 7th,

I am getting Hic ups,not alot, is this due to rushing or too much food? I have pain in shoulder on occ, but pain on my left side more on than off, any ideas would be appreciated. Also any help to try to get more fluid down me would help, I do find it hard to drink Waite drink later, this normally means up all night, oh one more thing not sleeping well, awake at night 2/3 hrs thank you in advance

I got hicup in the beginning cuase I was eating to fast. chew your food a lot that also helps. Are you tracking your intake? I use fitnesspal.com low cal /carbs = weight loss. Do some walking that helps get everything moving better. laxitive and gas x helps a lot of the pain and pooping will help also.

You are still very much in the healing phase. My best advice is to put the scale away. The first 4-6 week post surgery are for healing not losing. That will come later when you're back and solid foods and fully healed.

Also keep in mind it usually takes most people multiple fills before they have adequate Fluid in their band. The best thing you can do in the meantime is to stick to band sized portion, a cup of food or less per meal, and make smart food choices. Restriction will come it just takes time.
