I'm really glad you're enjoying Settlers hun! I am loving Wow and Sims 3 at the mo (new expansion for the sims out soon!!! wooot) They really do help with boredom related cravings
I am due on any day now (hopefully today so I can get the flipping thing over with!!)

Breakfast, made a MiM (muffin in a minute) from flaxmeal etc (see Atkins thread in general post op area)
Really easy to make and my god it was filling. I was only able to eat half of it!

Lunch, egg mayonnaise and my left overs from last night..(in a tiny bowl ful) that was nicer than it sounds!!

Atkins caramel choc nut roll bar (ooh one of my faves)

Cup of green salad, 2 teaspoons cheese coleslaw, little grated cheese, mayo, chicken chargrill

dietimeal dark choc protein pud & bit of cream

Hi, I had my sweetish band fitted 6th march, I have had 3 fills, which takes me to 8.5 in a 9ml band and I still feel no restriction, I'm so disheartened as I had to pay for this surgery! Have lost 14lbs but that was before my band was filled. I have list absolutely nothing since having my fills, has anyone any advise to give me please

 

[Neen]

Perhaps start off by logging what you eat on here Dee so we can perhaps see what we can advise in the way of foods to help you stay fuller.
It's not all that unusual for some to need the band filled almost to max before they feel proper restriction (me being one of them)
You might be able to get a smidge more put in, but you can help yourself along a lot by choosing foods that help the band work correctly.
Under my signature is a link to Mazza's food tips. Have a look at that as a really useful idea of what helps

I'm new to the site so please be patient lol.. I'm just never full! I haven't that much to loose tbh I just thought I'd be loosing more than what I am, in fact I have gained 2lbs from my last fill, I eat chicken n veg or with salad mainly

 

[xxdee]

Thanks for getting back to me also x

 

[Neen]

Not a problem at all xxx Log everything you have on here like we have, it might even be that you are not eating enough! That can mean your body puts everything you do eat directly into storage x
I'm sure between us we can offer you some ideas

Good luck Dee xxx I wouldn't underestimate 1/2 a mil!
I had a 1/2 mil defill last year..before it I couldn't eat any solids without bringing them back up...after having the half mil out I could eat meat , eggs etc you name it.
It might just make a huge difference

 

[Mazza]

I am bad! I was sooooo hungry I made myself a tiny bowl of milky mash with a bit of low fat dairylea and some horseradish sauce, oh and a bit of salt and pepper!

Its gone down well and Im full, probably had a heaped tablespoon

I would never advise anyone to go against what they are advised but I felt ill I was that hungry, dizzy, blurred vision etc - not good :cry:

 

[mellyb28]

I'm so surprised by the different advice we are all given following a fill, I had one last Thursday and all I was told was not to eat or drink for 4 hours before hand but no advice at all about what to do afterwards! Because of what I had read on here I decided to have liquids for a couple of days but after that I pretty much went back to normal (albeit smaller portions!) Hope you feel more like your usual self soon Mazza x

 

[Mazza]

Thanks Mel x

Im advised to stay on liquids for the day of the fill then 2 more days, 3 day of sloppies then proper food.

Im just over 2 years out and this time just couldnt manage that extra day.

I do feel much better already but my stomach is making some very strange noises! x
