Hiya, just wanted to update, its been a week now since my last fill and I'm finding I can eat more. I am able to eat breakfast (a small tub of yoghurt) and can eat 1/2cup food for lunch and dinner..so I'm happy :thumbup: Thanks again for all of your advice :tt1: I really appreciate it!!

Ok so 8 weeks ago I had .5ml put in my 10cc band which bought it upto 5.5cc, 3 days later I went back in and had .25ml taken out as I wasn't even able to drink liquids. 5 days ago I went back for another fill, this time he put in .5ml again, bringing me up from 5.2cc to 5.7cc and I'm just not sure how I'm doing. I am able to drink fluids (slowly), I am able to eat some minced meat (at night time ONLY), I am able to eat 2 cruskits (rice crackers), yoghurt and custard (slowly). So far I haven't been brave enough to try anything else yet as the first few days I was feeling quite tight. My question is....do you think I am too tight again or do you think I'm where I'm supposed to be at and it will loosen up some more seeing as though I am not having any trouble with liquids (apart from learning to drink/eat slowly). We are supposed to eat very very slowly right? When I'm eating, I feel that "lump" in my throat and then feel when it go's down and I can then take another bite. Is this normal? Any ideas???!!

Just wondering how much you eat in one sitting and how long it takes?

Thankyou, you are right. I have managed to eat about 1/2cup of baked beans and I was able to eat a small peice of fish last night...so I'm thinking I might be ok. How long does it/should it take to be able to eat 1/2 cup of food do you know??

I have 5 small incisions...none through my bellybutton. You can check out my photo of my scars in my photo album "My Progress Pics" if you like, just click on the link below.
