A sip of fizzy drink always used to work for me, it would bring anything straight back up. One week after my first fill (2nd time round) and thankfully I've had nothing stick so not had to try the old trick. Definitely stick to liquids for 24 hours, this is something I learned the hard way last time round.

I've recently had my first fill but 2nd time round (had band emptied 18 mths ago) I forgot how slowly you had to eat! Only problem is everything is stone cold half way through eating, how are people combatting this???

What is PB'ing?? Sorry not quite up with the band lingo yet x -
I think I'm just a bit frightened of getting anything stuck......last time I had restriction it was too tight and I was sick a lot, think it'll just take a bit of getting used to again......probably doesn't help that I'm a really slow eater anyway. I also think my stomach will not be liking it, it's not had any restriction for so long.....def try heating up my plate tho ????

Hating that I told my friends from college

Couldn't agree more......for me telling people just put me under added pressure.......everyone expected the weight to drop off me & completely judged me when it didn't happen.......wish I hadn't told anyone except for close family xx -
Terry I've heard people referring to the green zone before, what exactly is that? I was banded in 2010 but my band has been empty for the last 18 months, going for my first full on Tuesday, I know it will probably take me a few fills to get to restriction but would be good to understand what is meant by green zone x
-
I'm in the same boat....was banded in 2010 but had to have band emptied 18 months ago.....since having it emptied I'm now 56 pounds heavier than I was before I started......going to get my first fill on Tuesday, really excited but nervous.
-
I'm really inspired by this, thank you! My band has been empty for nearly 18 months and I'm going to get my first fill (2nd time round) on Tuesday, I'm nervous, excited, hopeful and determined. Love the salt water idea as I struggle with drinking while eating x
-
I've had no problems since having it emptied......I checked to see if I should get that checked but was advised no need as I've not had any problems......I did have lots of problems & discomfort before I had it emptied but I now realise it was completely my fault I wasn't eating properly & that was causing the problems......fingers crossed this time I'll be more patient and work with the band as the tool its intended to be ????????
-
Yeah it usually takes a couple of fills before you get to your perfect restriction, be patient as you don't want to end up with it too tight x

I'm about to restart after having my band emptied since sept 2013.....I was completely abusing it & binge eating but now I feel ready to try again.....first refill on Tuesday very excited
