Hi wishfull and sammy you both have done brilliant so far please dont worry bout the standstill in the weeks after my op i had a standstill for about 3weeks then gained a lb the following week i think this is normal and part of the healing process also before u have a few fills people usually find the loss slows right down

I am pleased with the weight loss i have had so far but i just wish it would start moving again.. even if it was only a lb i would now it was still going down, and it will take me into another stone lol, It's just because it hasn't moved for about 5 weeks and that's a long time. The last couple of days i have started eating more as i don't think i have been eating enough, since i have eaten more i haven't had ANY trapped wind.. when we were out walking sunday the pain in my shoulder going up to my neck was unbearable at times but as soon as we got back to the car and i had something to eat the pain went x

Hi gillian, Hows your restriction now? has your weight moved any? x

still have the restriction..im getting used to it now though, and eating accordingly ie. eating slower, chewing more and not as much on my plate..i am mushing up or pureeing stuff too..im still in the frame of mind that im not gonna have a fill next week, but ill see how it goes..i think i have lost summat this week..a couple of pounds at the least..but ill let you know on tues after my next fill..as i am going with what their scales say..that pain in my shoulder has disappeared too..i wonder if its owt to do with the weather being warmer?..i wonder if it was cold while you were walking or you were tensing up a bit?..cos it disappeared when you got in the car didnt it?..oh, i dunno! but it seems like we get it bad and we have both had broken collar bones!. lets hope that this next fill will get you moving again..it was my 3rd and it def did summat to me. x

It wasnt cold, it was nice and sunny and i didnt even have to wear my jacket, i do think some of it was because i was only having liquids in the day and 'normal' food later and maybe gary was right that i wasnt loosing weight because i wasnt eating enough.. o well i'll just see how i go x

Hi flirty, I've just been looking at a poll on here called 'whats your sweet spot in a 10cc band' There is so much difference between the amount of fill some people have its a revelation from as little as no fill to 11ml (dont know how they fit 11ml in 10ml band tho) its worth a read when you've a quiet 5 mins, and you will also see you are quite normal or average with the amount of fill you have.

Gillian, acording to this poll you have reached the holy grail and long may it last, you should now expect a faster weight loss, I'm so pleased for you.

i know, it sounds daft that, but its true, sometimes if your not eating enough, it can slow or stop your weight loss. maybe it was just cos you were having just drinks then?..perhaps its summat to do with the acids in the stomach producing gas if were not eating too much or summat?!..maybe, we'll never know?! it is a mystery! x

hey Mmm, that sounds interesting!..where do i find this poll?!youll have to give me instructions as im rubbish on computer!. wendy did say that she could now feel the pressure as the band was tightening...before i got to 5.25ml..she said it was just filling the tube..like a flat bike tyre being pumped up..so it is now officially..under pressure!.bigsister has the same as me in but shes not got the restriction i have yet...but suppose i have much more fat around my stomach for the band to tighten up around as im more than 3 stone heavier than her..and that is why you can lose your sweet spot as the fat goes from between the band and stomach..and you have to have fills after losing more weight. x

oh gosh I'm not very good at this but what I did was go to the very top of this page, click onto forum then I found band fills threads and the one titled whats your sweet spot with a 10ml band, if you cant find it prob flirty or freckles will be able to set up a link or whatever they do to help us. I only found it by accident, but I found it very interesting. good luck. mmm

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
