How many fills until you felt restriction
rachtimm replied to warman27's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks did yout surgeon recommended that you count calories. I was told to eat low GI 3 times a day but its very confusing and I am still hungry between meals so end up snacking. -

Still not feeling the restriction I hoped to have. Have had my first fill 1.5 weeks ago. I have a 10ml band and have 7mls. So a combination of disappointment, PMT and being busy at work has ended up being a bad week food wise [emoji22] [emoji22]

How many fills until you felt restriction
rachtimm replied to warman27's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am now at 7mls but not feeling the restriction I hoped to have. The first few days were great after the fill but now that the swelling has settled I dont feel as much restriction as I hoped. -
I had my first fill on Tuesday which took my 10ml band up to 7mls. I had really good restriction until today. My support team said that restriction can be delayed? or I was wondering can not drinking enough make your band feel looser the next day? I didn't drink enough water yestday and had a headache this morning.

I am week 4-5 post op and I am starting to be really hungry and slip back into bad habits. I am still on soft foods but think I would be more full if I could eat normal food. I have my fill appointment on the 14th but my band was put in with 4 mls in it. Will another fill make a diffrence? How much do they normally put in at each fill? I am in the uk.

Emotional Eating Substitute

I am finding this very difficult am 8 days post op. My post op diet is now blended foods for 2 weeks which is better tha liquids but i am missing food. On Friday i took my son to the cinema and had ice cream and have eaten some small pieces of chocolate. I dont want to cheat at this but feel like i have given up my comfort in life. My band was put in with 4ml fill in it already but i dont feel too much restriction as i could drink freely after the first couple of days and i feel hungry.
