Hi I have also booked with Tullia Law and surgery on the 6th August.

Radley See you there, have you had any diet advice before the operation ?

You poor thing Sammy, I used to have that every night, before I had the de-fill last October, its a nightmare, coughing and choking with a mouthful of gunge. Sorry to be explicit, but its best you would-be bandsters know what to expect if you're a bit over-filled. This is the reason they only give small fills, for your band to get adjusted, gradually.

I have only had the reflux once since the last fill Sammy. I dont eat after about 8pm sometimes earlier, and that seems to stop it.

Have a try of that hunny.

Bo you have done so well, you deserve the break .....enjoy your weekend of freedom lol, before you're back on track. lol

What exactly is reflux? It sounds nasty. Why do you choke with it. Is it the saline coming back up?

Still, can't wait for my 1st fill. Six days to go. I am paranoid now that I will make the pouch bigger as I can eat the same amount as before. Do you think I could make it stretch?

I went to Marks and Spencer today, you should not go to the food Hall ever!!! The temptation of M&S food is too great. Still managing to keep the lost stone off though must admit I am struggling. The only way I will do this is by not feeling hungry. I welcome that feeling of being full after only a small bit of food. Thanks - you have been so helpful xx

This band is driving me nuts.....

One day I can eat virtually nothing and the next I can eat all day, what on earth is going on.

Last night I had a mushroom curry and rice and managed it all but tonight I couldn't even get a piece of chicken to stay down. I had to make myself sick, had a 2nd attempt and managed some sauce and veg but chicken would not go down

I am having a muller rice at lunchtime, and find if I have a coffee when I come home from work I can generally manage tea not too bad but if I dont have a hot drink then nothing wants to really go down with ease.

I am going for another fill next week and hoping that will be me at "sweet spot" and all these problems will ease off.

Whats even more frustrating is that I am not losing any weight at all even though I am on about 1200-1400 per day

Help

Good morning

I have had no advice at all:confused:. Have started a no fat diet though:eek:, also have some milk thistle tablets and have some things to take with me to help after the operation. I only know about these things from this site. Hope to see you there.

Good luck Slinky, bet you're so excited, and also good luck to Radley and Fullfat.

Jayne, its like heartburn, except the acid comes into your mouth, causing you to cough, as you know this is the body's natural reflex, otherwise you'd choke.

I think it happens because your little tummy is full to bursting and it cant go down to your big tummy so the only way out is up!!

I may be wrong but thats what it feels like to me.

As I said to Sammy, the only way I overcame this was to not eat for a few hours before sleeping.< /p>

They say if you sleep on your left side its not as bad.

We just have to learn by personal experience, its not the end of the world, just trial and error, you will learn to live with your band.

Cos ...come on we're all greedy pigs otherwise we wouldnt be here...

Its a learning curve for all of us, after years of eating what we like, now we cant.

Scooby I am the same as you, some days I can eat more than I should and other days I cant eat hardly anything, and curry just gives me bad heartburn and my fave food is madras curry.

I have only lost 2lb since my fill last week, but I'm still not back to what my ticker says.

I think I have to lose another 2lb to get there.

I feel like I'll still be in the same spot in 10 years time. :smile:

Hi radley booked a few weeks ago did a lot of research and discovered uk prices were out of my reach, so went with tullia law.

Started looking at a ballon to start with but seemed a lot of money for some thing that only lasts 6 months.!!

Not to sure what to expect as the only info I have gleaned has been from this site.

Yeah know how you feel, the only info I have is from this site. Good news is 3 weeks today we will be back home. Have you decided where you are going for the fill yet.

[Fullfat 0]

Will be going to London for my fills as I work there so it is fairly handy. How are you traveling? my wife and I are going via euro star, the tickets from pboro to London cost more then the eurostar tickets.

How much is Dr CDB charging at the moment? And what is the package you have all had?

I have made enquiries with Frederik and I am waiting to hear back. I am thinking of doing this to nip my weight gain in the bud so i don't drop dead from heart disease like other females in my family. Also, my mum's diagnosis of ovarian cancer was delayed by months due to her weight.

I don't want to take any chances so I want to get a grip on my weight. 14st may not sound a lot but its all relative and I know 14st is not where I am likely to end up. I have generations of female fatties before me.
