That's a great way to look at things, I loss elwy calorie count by using my fitness pal it's a great app and if u eT out a lot u can guesstimate the cals in what you've had which is a good way of working out what you've had and should have. My days vary wildly from like 900 cals to 1300 depending on what mood I'm in! X

Thank you, I am using that app too, was on around 800 calories a day, but my husband said that I was not eating enough so I have now been trying to eat 1200 a day but some days still find it hard to get there. xx

I make it up with milky coffees like lattes and protein shakes x

 

[sparklysue]

So should I be having protein shakes then?
I don't know how much protein we should have. Will ask next week when I go for my fill.

I dont like protein shakes so I have milky coffee's instead, it gets the calorie up take up when needed. x

So does anyone else burp a lot when they have eaten or drunk anything? I seem to get full of wind then can't stop burping for a while.

Yep thats me too!, I used to think people who burped after or whilst eating were disgusting and had no manners, but now it's me doing it. I think it helps the food to go down. Also I can heard gurgling from my band when I eat, it's like it is talking to me lol x

Yes that's exactly how I am. Wonder why? It's embarrassing sometimes when I'm at work and all of a sudden a burp escapes. fed up of apologising.

Had a lovely day today. Went to Clumber park and walked round the lake, about 3 miles, so it's the most I have walked since surgery. Felt fine but had like a stitch towards the end of the walk near my port site.
Then we had a picnic. Ate crackers with hummous and pate, a cod fishcake, one chicken nugget and some water. Came home and later I had an alpen bar then a marshmallow thing called a snowball but wish I hadn't.

I feel so full and a bit uncomfortable so don't think I will be having anything else tonight.

Feel like I've eaten a massive amount but I actually haven't. Unsure why I feel uncomfortable, obviously something has not agreed with me.

I always feel like this if I have eaten something that really isnt on the diet, I tract everything now on my phone on the "my fitness pal" app, try using it to help you keep track of your calorie intake xx

Thanks Donna I will use it. I tend to keep a mental note of rough calories but that's not good enough.

Just home from Sheffield. Had my first fill today. Was almost painless, I've had worse blood tests actually.
I had 1.5ml already in my band, now I have 3.5ml. On fluids for 48 hours then soft for 48 hours. No solids till Tues!!!
Well I'm glad it's over.

Sue

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

At least it's over now sue feel up and relax x

 

[donna44]

Its a funny sensation when it goes in. Iv got my second infill next wednesday, think I will only be able to have 0.5mls after the last episode!

 

[emmahc1975]

I've got my next fill on thursday next week too

band fitted 16.01.14

 

[Crystalrainbow]

Well done Sue enjoy your fluids soon be back to normal food x x x

 

[sparklysue]

So, when I get back to eating solids, I expect to feel a bit different with my portion sizes, I know you did Donna. Did that feeling of needing smaller portions stay for long or did it wear off?

 

[donna44]

I found it hard to eat big portions after the first infill, my plate size reduced rapidly, but I have noticed that Im getting hungry between meals now, so it must be my body telling me that I am ready for another infill. plus I've not had a weight loss since Tuesday. Are you finding it hard going back on liquids? I found it a killer! xx
