Hi...thank you so much for the above advice I will give it a go !

Hi Michelle...well done you! Wishing you every success with your fills...It’s weird how dr’s differ with their advice my dr advised 3 months unfill and Not to go onto shakes or mushy food was really adamant about it, he said to eat normally within the band requirements obviously meaning portion control and watch the calorie intake to assist with not gaining weight which I’ve been trying but goodness it’s so hard and the hunger I’ve gained a few pounds and only week 3 so far I don’t know what to do for the best not sure why their advice differs so...I’m trying it his way but it’s not curbing the hunger...you seemed to be better on shakes less hungry ? I need some motivation to stop this weight gain and hunger [emoji30]

Thanks Michelle for the helpful tips...will keep you posted. Dipsyd65.

Hi Michelle...oh wow such good news! [emoji4] well done to you..I’m sure it takes a lot of determination and will power though....I am so going to do liquids and mushy food from now on then just to train my eating habits prior to my band being emptied...it’s going to be hard I know but feel your situation is so similar to mine I’m hoping for the same outcome...at least summer is coming and shakes and salads are not so bad....here goes will keep you posted ! Good luck with your journey too x

Hi Michelle....this has just happened to me too after 7 years banded and definitely a pouch dilation. I'm just waiting for an appointment for a complete unfill... Never had any real issues until now and so scary to know I'm not going to have any restriction but more importantly hope the 3 month break that dr has suggested for the unfill that I don't pile on the pounds... Fluctuated in last two years from 65 to 78 kilos but not too displeased with that just don't want to go beyond...fingers crossed the pouch goes back to normal after this unfill otherwise it's surgery I suppose... Please let me know how you got on today and keep us posted... Good luck and fingers crossed your journey from today works out ok and surgery free too x
