Hi here's a shocker for you! I have 13.8ml in a 14ml band and didn't hit decent restriction until 13.3 at least :thumbup: My surgeon said not to get hung up about it, 14ml is the manufacturers recommended and is a bit like sell by dates, total rubbish:laugh: Just keep going, you'll know when you get there!

Hi Kjhack, I can totally symphathise!! I am 9 months in and have lost a grand total of 40lbs. Have 13mls in a 14ml band which is now pretty tight, (probably too tight if i'm totally honest). I've lost 8 lbs since this last fill but that was in the liquid stage and I've lost nothing since. Can't have another fill as I wouldn't be able to swallow my own spit :crying: I'm currently pbing after almost every meal. Just ate a poached egg and a desert spoon of baked Beans. Down two minutes back up before three I'll be honest with you guys I don't exercise, I hate it and don't want to do it. I also don't want to diet, if I could diet or wanted to exercise why would I have paid thousands of pounds (oh I'm English by the way), for what was sold to me as the ultimate portion controller. Oh I like to drink as well! Oh god I'm obviously a bad person, take me out and flog me. Well my mind says if my food intake is restricted enough physics alone says I will lose weight? How restricted can it get, yesterday's total intake was half a beefburger and 2 tablespoons of cottage pie. SO WHY ISN'T IT HAPPENING :thumbup: Kim x

Hello from England! May I just say bravo PrincesJenE, you are definately my kind of girl :-) After all, if I I had the discipline to diet and exercise consistantly I wouldn't have paid all this money for a band. I paid for it to STOP me eating, for it to halt me in my tracks mid mouthful. I'm due to fill number 6 on Sunday which I am hoping will be "the one" that does this for me. Like you say, diet and exercise would probably make the journey quicker but I want to be able to enjoy life whilst I'm doing it. Believe me I've done the whole bit, from excessive exercise and excessive diet and I'm done with it. Life is for living and food is a big part of it, I want to enjoy what I eat and eat what I enjoy......... just much, much less of it! Kim xx
