Barium meal x ray this afternoon.

[morph]

Not looking forward to it but it has to be done. Probably not helped by the fact that today is turning into a bad day all round. :sigh: oh well.

Good luck Morph, I hope it all goes well for u x

 

[Neen]

Good luck Morph! I envy you having a fill this way actually as I would love to see what on earth is going on in my bandy area!
I have to pay for fancy xray fills!
Lots of luck and hope it goes quick and everything is allright for youx

 

[dottychic]

Dunno what that means lol....but good luck x

all went very smoothly. I now have 7 ml in my 14 ml band!

 

[Neen]

Cool How are you feeling? Have you been told to have liquids for a couple days or anything?

 

[morph]

back to soft foods for a few days yes
I've just had some scrambled egg, eaten very slowly!

 

[Neen]

It went down OK I hope I still can't eat eggs which I miss...would love a poached egg on toast or something! It's always interesting to see how providers vary with fills and advice etc.
It's a little tight at first after a fill isn't it? Although I must admit I only experienced that after my last one only really.
How are you finding band life so far? Hope you are getting into the swing of it all

so far so good. Bread doesn't like me much so I have cut that out, not at all bothered by that tbh. I can't cope with rice or pasta very well either, but I can eat small quantities. I just find I am full very quickly and then feel bloated if I eat too much of the carbs.

brilliant news your band is doing its job correctly

Yep very similar to a lot of us! I can eat dry crunchy cereal (cluster style) and sometimes rice cakes but anything doughy and soft is a no no. But you're quite right, it's suprising how you can do without things quite happily after a band isn't it? I sometimes get cravings for noodles now and then but have never really been successful having them after my op.
Be interesting to see how much you need for your sweet spot. Mine is really full so I'm a bit envious of anyone who has it just right with less!
