[sharon2014]

Yes, I am very heavy for first 24 hours and then I stop very quickly and this is how it's been since the operation, it's pants. I've also noticed I'm very fatigued and constantly on a need for sugar. Where I was never like that pre band. It dies change you over the 10 day build up and TOTM. OMG bands also ttightens ... U might get slight stronger retraction tomorrow with the fill. Let us all know how u find it .... I think it's strange and crazy .... Lol weird weird sensation ... ;-)

It's strange for sure!!

I will let you know!! I will need to check for liquids for how long...you said 24hrs!? Xx

Hey everyone, that's me had my first fill!

Dr said I had 1ml in, which took out then put 3 in then added the extra 1ml back in! So 4ml in total!

Not sure how many my band can accommodate..need to look at my paperwork!

He said it was little difficult to locate initially but put it in my paperwork incase need another fill!

It was a wierd feeling, first time needle moved then went in again and I could feel fluid close to my heart..(prob nowhere near it but strange all the same lol)

Barium yuk! I can still feel it sitting trying to go through, I'm on liquids for next few days the soft food and normal after!

Fingers crossed for some more losses!! xx

 

[BandedHun]

Congrats Sharon. You will feel a difference just on hunger levels alone. Take it easy and enjoy ;-) xxxx

[kurstywursty]

Funny how everyone is different in what they experience. I did not really feel my fill except the sharp sting of the needle when it went in

Oh Sharon, back on liquids :-(

Great losses expected though

 

[sharon2014]

[sharon2014]

Well done sharon..good luck with the new fill!!

 

[sharon2014]

Thanks Karina x

 

[kurstywursty]

Hope you get to that 3 stone goal really soon babe xx

 

[sharon2014]

Thanks love!!! So close yet so far lol!!! It's a mental goal for sure then next one is 4 stone to aim for!! X

 

[sharon2014]

Well just ate some runny yoghurt and omg did not agree ! Restriction there in full force!! Currently sipping some warm tea, and listening to gurgling...nearly sick but thankfully wasn't much so avoided it!!

If that restriction keeps up..I should be good for a while!! X

 

[BandedHun]

U need to be able to swallow somethings ... If you can't get yoghurt down tomorrow call your provider babe. That's some heavy restriction. You might be sensitive and need smaller adjustments ;-)

Take care sweetie xxx

 

[kurstywursty]

Sharon my friend with the band always feels really restricted after a fill. But she said it eases off after a few days. But banded right, if your not sure call for advice x

 

[sharon2014]

I had soup for dinner and it was fine, think just needed to wait bit longer between each!

Feeling much better today!!
