maybe ask to see a dietician Em, hows your restriction ? as if theres a unbalance of the restriction or your food choices arnt correct then this reviewed may help your situation x

Im really pretty clueless about the band Emma but that doesnt sound like a lot for 10 months. Maybe you need a fill? Can you speak to your team about how its bothering you? I wish I could be more helpful but I can deffinately send you a massive Manchester ((HUG)) and say Im sorry you are so fed up XX

Hi Emma. I cannot offer any advice as a band newbie. Why don't you post on the band thread and see if others can offer any guidance and support. It would be a good idea to contact your team too - they are there to help you. Please do not give up.

was gonna say the same as Liz, maybe you need more restriction via a fill, writing a food diary is good, this will allow you to no pun intended chew over what's going on and maybe rectify things, and when are you due for a follow up consultation, i guess with a band it's much more regular till they find that sweet spot isn't it? a mention then can only help too

Hi Emma, I hope things improve for you soon xx
Hi Em
Has a fill helped in the past when you have just had it done? I wonder if you dont have enough fluid in yet. I will post a days food and then check it with yours and see if its about the same amount etc.
I have a mixed restriction - some parts of the day I cant eat too much but by the end of the day can eat a lot more. I am losing a pound a week but seem to have lost more overall than you have.
Breakfast - bowl of muesili with semi skimmed milk
Lunch - 3 ryvita with laughing cow lite spread and half a chicken breast with tomatoes, 1 tub of peaches in fruit juice
snack - 1 chocolate digestive
Dinner - home made veg soup, 1 slice of wholemeal bread
2 slices of ham and small salad
6/7 drinks of tea or NAS squash
Vitamin and 2 omega 3 tablets
Hope this helps and lets you see if you are eating more or less than me
I am hoping for a fill in Feb to lose a bit more before the summer
Best wishes

good luck today Emm your menu looks good x
Hi Emm
Im thinking the same thing, although your meals sound ok. (apart from maybe the cheese on toast!). Where's the fruit? lol
I know its only an example but I eat much more than you to include 3 portions of fruit x

I'm not a bander, but I feel your pain with the weight loss being slow. I appreciate how demoralising it is when you are a slow loser, but 32 lbs is still an achievement though, would you realistically have managed that without the band? As for diet wise, sounds OK to me, (although like Mazza says, maybe not the cheese on toast on a regular basis)...but I'm wondering do you actually track your calories as I'm not sure you are eating enough, imho? Perhaps you could try a food diary just for a couple of weeks to actually see a true idea of your average calorific intake? Hows the exercise coming along too? Are you keeping up with something you enjoy on a regular basis? It sounds like you do need a fill though, so thank goodness that is coming around soon-ish. Hope it helps xxx

Hi Mel. I am getting my head round things now. I have yet to test its full capabilities as no sooner did I get to the ,normal' food stage I had a fill (last Friday)so it is back to liquids for 2 weeks then 2 week purees. I am trying to be positive after a wobbly start. I know it is going to be slow progress but progress never the less which is the important thing.
