So back from my second fill. I have 6ml in a 10 ml band so one ml was put in. Water went down fine and now sipping on a slimfast... not sure if I have restriction or not but won't know until back on solid mid next week... the dietitian was lovely so much nicer than the last one. Apparently she does heartland as well. But she said that if I feel I don't have any restriction to come back sooner for another fill so happy with that

 

[joey80]

[miserable]

Will do thanks joey xxx

 

[flutterby1966]

Where do u go for your fills miss?

 

[miserable]

Dolan park its only one hour and motorway so easy access

 

[flutterby1966]

Me too. I just hop on motorway at worcester. Is pam your dietician? I find them all lovely. Maybe we will bump into oneanother there one day. How are you feeling now? When is your next fill booked for?

 

[miserable]

Sorry to be mean but best way to describe, is she the one with the disabled foot / walk?

 

[flutterby1966]

yep

 

[miserable]

U had her for my first fill and her style did not float my boat. This time I had Jodie Owen. She only dies week end and late evening appointment. I am due for a dietitian phone call on 20th Feb to see how I get on. But she said that if this fill does touch me like the previous one to not wait but call them and they will see me sooner. At the mo I can full in half a slimfast but the feeling only last couple of hours. Is it normal?

 

[flutterby1966]

I would say that sounds pretty normal, afterall its only fluid. You will have a far better idea when you are back on normal food.

For me, now I have had my fill taking me to 9.5mls in 14ml band, I feel fuller probably on just a tiny little bit less food than I used to have at each meal. However rather than have the hungry feeling coming back quite quickly after 2-3 hours, it comes back more slowly, so i dont really feel ravenous and as if I want to wolf a snack or my next meal down. The major difference is for me in the evenings, when I used to eat my evening meal and then want something else to nibble on before I went to bed - now I dont want that extra meal - and thats probably saving me a few hundred calories a day. Not sure how long that feeling of restriction will last though. Probably just a couple of weeks more. My next fill is booked for 6 March.

When are you back on your normal food again?
