Thanks ladies.. I really need this fill.. I haven't been eating much, but that's because I just worked 3 12 hour days!! But when I do eat I feel no restriction, and I've started to crave chocolate a lot lately.. So hopefully this will help me, as I feel I may put on the weight I have lost..:-(
Hope you getting all ok??

Good luck tomorrow for your fill. As for cravings they won't go away so make them fit in to your day. I have a freddo every night !!!!! Naughty I know but I need it every day, my fix lol x
It is a journey and a half but I think I am now about 5 and half stone down. Gone from a 24 to a 16. I could of lost more I know but life gets in the way as in a freddo on a night and a glass of wine or 7 !
Don't deprive yourself this has to be a lifetime change and that's how I am seeing it, I can't cut carbs, stop eating chocolate and definitely can't stop drinking wine so if it takes me a bit longer to get to target so what! I am enjoying the journey and can stick to this for life .
Let us know how u get on and good luck x x

Wobbly.
Thank you that is such perfect advice and Defo what I want to be able to do.. I hope to loose weight at a slow and steady pace, and more importantly maintain my loss. I can't give up the things I enjoy in my life, but I no longer want to binge on them.. I don't have a massive amount to loose and I'm really happy with how it has gone so far..
It's all about balance, and not feeling deprived or guilty, it sounds like u have it well sorted to me.. And a great weight loss to support it..

Just finished ... In the waiting room having a water before I can leave.
So she aspirated everything that was in which was 4.5mls.. So she gave for 1/2 a ml.!
Really she would of liked to have left it and give me 1.5 in 10 days.. But I'm really feeling hungry and worried I will put on what I have lost..
It's hard to imagine that half a ml will make a difference.. So fingers crossed..
So fluids and slop for three days.

Oh my you are hopeful!!
Small fills are definitely the way to go. I had a 1ml fill and ended up having 0.5 of it removed after 2 days as couldn't even manage water. Then after 2 months had the 0.5mls put back in and ended up in hospital on a drip for 12 hours after 4 days until their was a bariatric consultant available on the Monday morning to remove a ml for me. Now only have 0.2 or 0.1mls at a time as would not want to repeat those very unpleasant experiences. Also I didn't feel too comfortable having to go and ask the NHS for help after having the band done privately

Ok.. I think.. I've had soup and no problems.. I do feel a little sore inside, and tight.. Which is odd, few gurgling sounds Also and burping.. Don't think it's the fill more likely the fact that all was taken out and then put back in..
Bit gutted about fluids and slop for few days haha..
How r u Julie?
Emmas turn tomorrow.. Xx

I had 4mls in at time of surgery too. Seems all providers are different. Honestly though the whole coffee ground vomit, IV Omeprazole experience was not nice.
Gosh isn't it weird how we are all so different. I had 1.5mls at op then have had 3 fills since op of 3.5, then 2 then 1 bringing me to 8mls. I think I've got enough restriction now to lose slowly but just as others have said, still enjoy treats including my red wine. I'm lucky that I don't have a sweet tooth and really not keen on chocolate or cakes but let me loose in the crisp and dips aisles and I could do real damage lol. Reading all the posts on here really confirms that our experiences are all different but still good to be able to talk to others who understand what we are dealing with. x

Hello lovely ladies! Sorry for not being on much, I smashed my iphone the other day :-( Replacement being sent today and I never get chance to come on the PC.
So, yesterday, I had my first fill as you know. I don't know what I was worried about, it was fine, didn't hurt at all. The nurse did a fluid check and I had 3.5ml, not the 4 that I was told I had, so the nurse just plumped for a 2ml top up, giving me a 5.5ml in a 10ml band. On soups for today, mushy tomoz and then I guess we will see how that goes. I can feel it though!
She said that I may lose that sensation after a couple weeks, next fill is booked for 16th Sept where they will go by 0.5ml at a time until I get to where I need to be.
Oh, and I got given some paperwork that said DEFO no fizzy drinks, so am devastated :-(
ALso, whilst there, I met a lady who also had her op at Dolan Park the same day as us, so told her to come on here too

Brilliant.. Nice top up... I was told I had 4 but had 4.5.. So she would only give me .5... But yer I really feel it to.. Another fill in three weeks.
Sorry about the fiz!! Gutted!
Yest was worried I couldn't drink but today has been good.. 3 small spoons of porridge and I'm done..
So lost about 10lb so far.. And not put any back on..
Lets hope things keep moving in that direction xx
