Heya all, hope you are all doing well My pain finally settled down after a few days and im feeling much better now! Ive discovered that my port and my bra do not get along, i wish it didnt stick out of my chest so much!

Ps: Im loving the sexy surfers!

Nice to see you back Jiggly. I have similar issues. I have a very large bust and if I go without my bra my one boob lies right on top of my port. I have to wear a bra at night just so I can get some sleep - otherwise it is very uncomfortable. So I sympathise with the bra issue.

Well I have some news for us all!!
No nothing on the house front yet....sorry.
I had a meeting with my dietician yesterday and it seems that all the previous information we have been given regarding the full feeling we get have been updated.

I was always told the 'full' receptor is at the top of the stomach, well this is no longer the case apparently.
The top of the stomach is full of muscles which work really hard to push the food through your band. It's the tiredness of these muscles that makes us feel full.
New advise on the street is to take a small bite, chew at least 20 times and then wait one minute before taking the next bite.
This then makes the muscles work on one lot of food at a time and doesn't cause a backlog of food which in some cases can cause sickness as by then the muscles are over tired and struggling to push the food through.
You must stop eating after 20 minutes still and no drinking for half an hour before or after eating.

I've been struggling with my feeling full receptor of late and so I will be giving this new advise a try to see if it helps. Just tried with my breakfast and it's hard waiting for a minute between bites I must confess, hopefully practice will make perfect.

I thought it was an interesting theory and it certainly made sense the way she explained it to me. It also made me realise why I am fine one minute during eating and the next am throwing up despite chewing for ages.

Bad news is I have misread my psychologist appointment date. It's for May 2012!!!!! Gutted. Dietician advised I return to my doctor and see if he can refer me elsewhere instead, as waiting a year for an appointment in her eyes is too long to wait.

Well better crack on with work, I shouldn't really be on here, but was too tired to post last night.

Have a great day everyone xxx

Great info Rache xxxx Thankyou so much for sharing that!

A lot of us have the emotional eating thing, I still do for sure...let's thrash some ideas out together and be our own group of councellors...you never know, we might crack a few issues now rather than have to wait.
I am totally willing and ready so let's get some things sorted x

 

[magicbeans]

wow thats very informative..... a minute between bites!!
