Well done Flirty, I just dont know how you have done it on your own, you are bloody great!!!!

I would be worried though, cos I didnt have any restriction and then had the contrast study which proved the band was leaking.

Wouldnt you consider that? You paid a lot of money out for your band and so many fills! How many mls have you supposedly got in now girl?

Poor Mmm, well at least you didnt put any on sweetie.

I am down another kilo today, but only just so not gonna change my ticker in case i'm back up tomorrow.

I just cant eat, today i have eaten 1 crackerbread with Clover on for brek, 2 cbreads with a thin slice of cheddar on them and for tea I ate 3 c breads, 2 with Philly and 1 with marmite.

i dont feel starving but if I could manage something I would eat it, but at this time of night I wouldnt risk it, as it will be coming up when I am trying to sleep. I love this band!!!!!!!!

Hi rosetah, shoes is right you do need to try and stick to what you are told, are you drinking plenty in between your meals as this may take your hunger pangs away x

Oh POO I've only lost 1lb during my holidays, I'm just so shocked how little I need to eat to loose any weight, I'm feeling very sorry for myself today.

I missed my June fill by being away, and wont be able to get a July fill because the date available in this area is only a few days before I go to a wedding, and that would be so inconvient. So I might have to look else where and find someone who can do a fill for me this week, but its probably going to be much more expensive, I'll report back when I can find someone to do it for me.

I'm so hungry all the time, isnt it strange how the restriction just stops working from one day to the next.

Poor u, don't beat urself up though as u were on ur hols!!

WLS have a clinic in Cardiff once a month if that's any use. I think it'll be 2 weeks on Monday but don't take that for gospel!! x

Hi all,

Well i am 4 pounds down since first fill 3 weeks ago! not alot i know but have another one next week in glasgow!

As i live 4 hours north of glasgow i can only go there once a month with Wls as they are only there once a month:mad2:

SOOOOOO, i booked a flight to london for end of the month to get another one (my 3rd) and then my 4th fill a couple of weeks after that in glasgow again!!!! Hopefully that should give me the kick start i need and then i will be happy just going once a month!!!!

It is a pain though!

Hope everyone is well!!!

Thanks for that Sammy, I think I have found a solution. My daughters surgeon is based in Cardiff and does manual fills (not under xray) on Saturday mornings for £120 at Spire Cardiff, so I have just booked him. Other than that I would have to go to Bristol 16th July, but the sooner I get one the better.

Morning Freckles!! The message was for mmm not wishful!! :)! Silly sausage!!

How's ur mum doing? I hope she's being looked after. xxxxx

Mmm - I'm glad u've sorted it out. I did look at Spire in Farnham which is only a few miles from where I work but they didn't seem keen to take on aftercare only patients so I gave it a miss. It's good they do one off fills though. It's worked out OK as I've only had 4 fills and got good restriciton on the 3rd. I was worried I'd be in London every 2 weeks spending a fortune on trains and taxis!! It'll be a good excuse to go shopping though when I've lost another few stone as Harley Street is just a few mins walk from Oxford Street!

Hey sammy you are doing really well with this band and got good restriction early on x

Yeah, it was tight after the 3rd fill then lasted about 4-6 weeks. On my 4th fill 2 weeks ago it tightened up again. I think the 1st time I got restriction it was defo too tight so going forwards I'm just gonna ask for very little fills when I need them even if it does mean going back more often. It's been very uncomfortable at times.

Ur doing really well too especially without restriction! I'm going out for lunch with the guys from work on Friday to a Chinese buffet. We all usually get really stuck in but I won't be! I just tell them that I'm on a diet. Surely they must realise I've lost over 2 and half stone since I saw them last!! Still a very long way to go though but I'm in no great rush! x

      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.
