Hi emma. When is your first fill?

You must be just after me, my appointment is at 12.45. The letter says to make sure you arrive 10 minutes before your appointment time and not to eat or drink for 4 hours before the appointment...so at least we can eat breakfast.
Just take the little card to record the bandfill. Have you been filling out the food diary booklet? I haven't as I have been tracking my food online.
we need to check about how long we are on fluids, etc after the fill - as the letter says one thing and the website another.
Maybe see you tomorrow

Hi Emma
That is great thanks, it would be good to catch up...it is so nice to speak to people who have similar experiences and are doing something about it. It was good to meet you too, even though it was briefly as I had to rush back to work in Malvern, and you had to go for your x-ray. How did you get on with your fill anyway? How much have you in your band now? I thought the doctor was lovely, even though I struggled to understand what he was saying. So, hopefully you had a more positive experience than at the hospital! The port wasn't where I thought it was which leaves me wondering what all the other lumps and bumps in my body are LOL. And on that note ... hope you have a great week

That means he took out 4.5mls then replaced it with 5.5mls. Does the 4.5mls tie up to what they said on your hospital notes about what Mr Super put in your band originally?
I have a large 14ml band and they took out the 2mls that were in it and replaced it with 7mls. That seems to be quite a lot at once, but I feel fine. I suppose it will become more obvious once we get onto solids again.
I am off to USA on Saturday so I think I will need the restriction to stop me eating too many waffles and pancakes. :devilangel:

The amount they said they took out of my band was more than Mr Super was supposed to have put in too. I have had a good week so far, four pounds off since Saturday. I need to go shopping for new clothes, but may do that when I am on hols next week.
I am hungry but not eating very much really. To be honest I am going to have a small salad tonight with some egg and cheese. I have done two days of liquids and had enough of it, it bloats me up so much.
Gotta go, friends coming over for dinner and just ringing door bell

Ems - how have you got on over the past couple of weeks?

Some times I have felt restriction but most of the time I have been relying on calorie counting too otherwise I think I may have not lost weight. having said that today I feel so ill with jet lag and cannot shift the feeling of nausea I have resorted to raiding the last of the biscuits in the house. Thought five digestives may do the trick ... But they haven't. And its proved the old habits are not easy to get rid off. When is your next dietician and fill appointment?
