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]

Thank you. Hope I can get an appointment for another fill soon. How many mls untill the band is working properly?

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.

Waiting on First Fill
rachtimm replied to rachtimm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
yeah is much tighter I can feel proper restriction now. I dont know if it will stay the same or get loser or tighter over tge next few days thou? support team said it might just stay the same or get tighter? -
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
rachtimm replied to Newsoulz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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.
