Hi Flirty, your not on you own with being able to eat bread, I still can, and my daughter who has 8.75ml in her band has always been able to do so, - but she has still lost weight, as long as the weight is still coming off, its got to be a good thing, it means no one suspects you have a band, and you can lead a normal social life, Sian can eat up to 4 slices without feeling uncomfortable, but is usually quite happy with 2 slices. I'm not to sure how being pregnant will affect her band but over the last 3 months she has managed to put on 2lb, so she's not looking for an unfill untill week 30 by the look of it.

Hi mmm thats brilliant imagine on 2lb on and im sure shes thrilled she doesnt have to be unfilled yet... Do u know what size of band she has its great to hear of someone else who has alot in their band i feel like the odd one out lol did it take her long to reach restriction or was it only when she got up to 8.75mls? Sorry for all the questions just i dont really have anyone to ask as no one here has as much as me at the min its also great to hear im not the only one who can eat bread i was really starting to worry incase there was something wrong with my band... Thanks so much for that reply im not as worried now x

You're very welcome Gillian cheers2.gif

Flirty thats great news from Mmm isnt it, I bet you were starting to panic werent you.

And I was thinking about what you said before about the weight you'd lost, well the surgeon told my daughter when she loses weight her organs also get smaller and the band would then be a lot looser, so yes I have heard that before. rabbit2.gif

She had .5ml one month after being banded, then 2ml 3 months later, then when the surgeon was happy she had healed properly they arranged a fill under xray, she drank barium meal whilst they tightened the band, they could then see how quickly or slowely things were passing through her band, the total volume she required was 8.75ml, she has the same band as us max 9ml, and the surgeon confirmed that the more weight you lost or the smaller you are are the more fill you require (that why the band dont give a very good result on lower bmi or less that 35).

The other very strange thing he said was if Sian reached the full 9ml capacity, and stopped loosing weight he could still make the band work if she had an unfill for about 2 weeks then re-filled it again, dont know why that works, but he's prepared to do it free of charge so as long as it works its got to be good news

Wishfull, Mum seemed back to her old self yesterday, but had accidently puuled the needle out of her hand, that was feeding the saline into her. So the staff nurse stopped the drip, I think she'd had enough and they didnt want to try putting the needle in again, as her veins keep collapsing.

They just have to keep giving her loads of fluids and maybe by Friday she will be well enough to be moved to the nursing home.

Thanx for asking chick thumbelina.gif

Hi Freckles, was so pleased to hear the good news about your Mum, hope you are doing ok too, bigsister x

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
