Fatpants How did you get on today, he gave me my 2nd fill, put 2.25 in taking me to a total of 5.25 in 7ml band so hoping will have some restriction now and get the weight loss going in the right direction What time did you arrive at the clinic as it was 12 before I left due to him running late Kerry x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lindsaymel 0 Posted June 25, 2010 Hi everyone. Could someone tell me why it is liquids only for 2 days after a fill? Its no problem doing that, I just wondered why?! Also, I've been having sparkling mineral Water to drink with no problems at all. Why are we advised not to drink carbonated drinks? Should I stop drinking it? Will I be doing any damage to my band? I've stopped drinking pepsi max and fizzy diet vimto but struggled to give up my fizzy water!!! Also I have a couple of lagers at the weekend again with no problem - is that really bad for my band? (I know alcohol is empty calories but a couple of drinks at the end of the week is my treat as I'm not mad on chocolate and am good food wise!) Sorry for all the questions!! This forum is a life saver! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freckles 0 Posted June 25, 2010 Lindsay, I think the liquids thing is to ease your band in to accepting food, not too sure though and it certainly helps tighten it (from personal experience). I drink fizzy stuff, but sometimes it backs up, I dont know if it does any harm to the band, nobody has ever said it does. I cant see how it would really, but maybe someone else knows? You deserve the drinks at the weekend, you are being soo good!!! I have read that a couple of drinks actually helps you to lose weight. Sorry I cant be of more help hunny, I'm sure someone else can.

Lucky you. I didn't get restriction until I was at 6mls. but I have had a couple of hiccups and had to be defilled twice! It's a long story, actually I'm sure I've told it on here! Well I booked the wrong train so didn't actually arrive in edinburgh till 1.30. Good luck & take care Fatpants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Doo 1 Posted June 27, 2010 Yuk, just experienced a horrific bout of productive burping - not pleasant. Had my fill done 4 days ago and this morning thought I would try a little scrambled egg - not a good idea - after 3/4 mouthfuls I was in pain and over the last 30 minutes have been bringing it back up What causes it, I chewed properly and ate really slowly and it was soft foods, not having egg again for a while. Also its not just the food that comes back up its accompanied by a thick gloopy saliva - again why is that? Anyone know how long this will last - gonna stick to liquids again today to give my stomach a rest again just in case. Kerry xx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freckles 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Sounds like you're a bit over-filled Scoobs, thats how I was. Try eating a little later in the day, sometimes I couldnt eat until lunchtime, and could never eat egg, well just the yolk, of a poached or boiled egg, but never scrambled hun. I think after each fill, you have to try everything before you find what you can eat, cos every little bit of saline, changes everything, or maybe thats just me.
