Food Intake

[dellaland 11]

Granted I don't have a fill but I'm a little concern about my food intake I'm not eating as much as before but for me to be banded I think im eating a lot for instance I went out to eat had 2 chicken fingers and 3 slices of thin crust pizza im starting to get worried I did some damage any suggestions or advice I'm hoping I can do this journey without any fill

That's pretty normal in the beginning, in fact that's why people often refer to the time period you're in as "banster hell". Until you get some restriction, which normally takes a couple fills, you can likely eat just like you did before you were banded.

It's not easy, but during this time it's left to willpower. Hang in there, it gets easier once you have some restriction.

Why would you want to do this journey without a fill?? If you are worried about it hurting, don't be. Not painful at all...You will eventually need fills and it sounds to me, You need one now!! You should not be able to eat that much food at one time. Go get yourself a fill...

That's totally normal! I was eating normal after my op, i tried to be healthy and lost some weight but i put that down to the liquid diet after the band. The whole point of the band is fills i would have thought, i just had my second fill yesterday taking me to 5cc and Im hoping that gives a helping hand along with my meeting with the dietition last week which really helped too. Get your fills as you need them.x

I guess that I am abnormal as I did have restriction before my 1st fill. I was on the 6 month monitored diet,it helped. I only ate from a salad plate and restricted myself. But, I tried to eat a 2nd peace of pizza(this was before my 1st fill), I got my 1st pb that day. Go carefully on your band! Good luck, Karen

Hi

What's a PB?

I'm getting banded on this Monday

PB=productive burping! Simular to vomiting but not from the stomach and no nasty stomach juices after taste. Karen
