11 days post op

well, felt like a small piece of cod and a spoonful of mash last night after 10 days of Soup, it was great, felt very full and content. Then this morning had 2 pieces of small wholemeal toast, ate very slowly and was really really full towards the end of 2nd piece.

I am so please I did this, back to work on Monday, hurrah!

Wow, this thread gives me hope for not only the weight loss but the possibility of not being completely miserable food wise for the rest of my life.

I really enjoy chinese, especially singapore rice lol. Sounds like u coped well with it and didn't go to town. Hope I can be the same.

Your weigh loss is amazing and in the time you've managed it so far I think your target sounds really possible, although I don't know your height/bmi you certain seem a success story and I can't wait to see Dr Chris next month.

Hi Keving...

was your band filled when you had it put in? Your are doing really well and seem to fill up on tiny amounts.. I was banded on 20th of june and have lost about a stone now but do get hungry and would be able to eat far bigger portions than you do.... I too had some chinese at the weekend... I had a prawn chow mein.. i ate the noodles etc but left the prawns... well I chewed one to death and then decided that just the noodles would do... but I did manage about 2/3 rds of the portion! Roll on my first fill I suppose..

been away for a couple of days, whilst away went out for a meal and just about managed to eat half a small baked potato and half a chicken breast, with glass of red wine, felt like a right blooter after.

came home this afternoon and weighed 17st 7lbs. so well happy.

Kevin

You had wine?? I have been wondering how long after surgery is it okay to have a glass of wine?

You´re doing a great job Kevin!! Keep it up!

I can´t wait to get home tomorrow night and see if I have lost anything this week.

had weigh in today and down to 17st 4lbs. Things slowing down now, I really need a fill to kick start it again, but not due until mid Sept.

Hi Kev

Wooooww your doing soooo well, its nice to see you have some restriction. I can practically eat anything at the moment and so need my first fill (Roll on two weeks) anyway you keep up the good work and that 15 stone is just round the corner...

Take Care

restriction all but gone now, not due fill until mid sept, would really like a fill now

Had my band done on 7th july and on the 23rd had lost 25lb feel fantastic, have had trouble digesting some foods though, no meat whatsoever, i had terrible trapped wind in the back and shoulder to the point of nearly crying with the pain, i soon learned which foods to eat and which not to, also found eating smaller portions but 4 times a day instead of 3 meals a day has helped.

Have booked for a fill on aug 6th but things are going that well i might cancel it until sept any advice pls would be gratefull

Kev your post have kept me going thanks

well, did my weight today and have broken into 16st. I am now 16st 13lbs. So so so please. Am off now for 3 weeks and hope I can break into 15st before my return but things have slowed and my restriction this week is none existent.

Kevin this is a great achievement i am so pleased for you...

Do you think you have done this mostly through diet or through the band itself.

I cant wait to get to the stage of feelin restricted...
