Well day 11 post op
I can't believe how the last few days I'm feeling much more like myself again apart from being very tired so glad iv had an extra week to relax, the hunger is creeping in so can't wait to experiment next week with more food choices think the slow cooker will definitely be used, my food cravings are not good but try to push them aside as don't think they will ever go just have to learn how to ignore them and make good choices.

Hi Anna, wow that's good news!!
So no purée stage then?!
I take it they wanted up the confusion then x
I know but it's easier said than done as we're all curious and want to hear others experiences.
I wonder what I will be told lol!! Xx

Iv learnt so much on here so much more than a book or dietitian can tell me, think I'd of backed out if I hadn't of joined but if I'm honest I do worry when I read so many stories that the band has gone wrong and further surgery and cost is needed but I guess that's just the risk we take to change our lives xx
Anna I'm exactly the same. This forum gave me the confidence to do it, & also made me so aware of the risks too.
I do think that over the years they've refined the post op diet so much and how they placate the band in place that the risks are so much less than they were.
I hope we don't have problems and I think being fearful of risks is a good thing because it'll add to us wanting to be careful.

Do you have anything in your band at the mo?! X
Well I didn't think I did but I've just got off the phone to the nurse who looked after me and she said that usually there's about 1.5 ml in there.
I'll find out at my first full I guess but it won't be for another 5 weeks yet!
She gave me what for, for going on forums lol x

Hi everyone just want to wish those having surgery in the next few days good luck, I'm on day 6 post op (banded) and I'm starving and can't wait to have some small portions of proper foods the liquid stage I'm finding hard yesterday I had a muller light yogurt half a tin of oxtail soup and about 1250 ml of sugar free squash and a banoffee pie whey 80 protein shake (made with 300mls milk) I'm still losing so far 2 stone 9lbs in the last 5 wks and 6 days but still having the trapped wind, I have my 1st band fill 20th Nov and currently my band is empty so hopefully after a fill or a few I won't be as hungry, Hope everyone is doing ok!

Day 20 post op
Well today I have been out for a family meal,I was dreading it as not all who was there knew what I'd had done, but I had a kids carvery with no meat and a small ice-cream nobody noticed or if they did never commented I have to say I think I over did it a bit as I had the feeling come back in my left shoulder so nothing else for me today.
Weighed in this morning and now 38 lbs lighter from when I went for my consultation
