Newly banded

Well I went to see my dietician today as I can't have my 1st fill till I'd met her and now it could be in another 4-6 weeks. Well my mouth just hit the floor. Plus eating more solid food this week I've gained 2lb. Not feeling the best tbf and when I'm like this I just wanna eat chocolate. Im g9nna drink lots of sugar free squash and try and drown my hunger lol. I hope your both well Emma & Donna xx
 
Why cant you have your fill for another 4-6 weeks? seems to long to me. Try cadbury's high lites hot chocolate, only 40 cals, every time I have a sweet tooth I drink this and it helps with the cravings. We all put weight on when we go on solids, its normal, it will be off by next week though.

Where did you have your surgery? xx
 
Oh tell me about it. Mine was done on the nhs by mr super. I'm hoping this is worst case scenario. I might call the team tomorrow & see what can be done.

I'm definitely going to buy some of them drinks & see if they work. The funny thing is I was always more savory than sweet. Now though I love chocolate... Just gotta retrain my brain.

How you both doing? Xxx
 
I read somewhere that the NHS has stopped the funding for band fills, hence probably why your are having to wait. Did you have it done at Heartlands? I know at the hospital group they charge £150 for an infill, if you don't have cover with them. Where are you from Yvonnebanded? are you warwickshire/midlands?

Finding it hard today, couldn't eat my dinner today, but then an hour I am hungry, today I have managed to eat 1150 calories. Going to bed in a min so I don't think of food. xx
 
Oh I always sleep through my hunger. Just wish I could at work lol.
I live in Birmingham hun about 10 mins from heartlands. Whereabouts Are you from? Xxx
 
I Live in stratford upon Avon, I used to live in Olton, Solihull about 10 mins away from Heartlands so know the area well. We should set up our own support group! Emma is near by too xx
 
We are all close to each other!
I'll be in Birmingham for my fill on thursday.
Like an idiot I've arranged a meal out on friday with someone who doesn't know about my wls & I'll still be on mush. Its a carvery too so no menu choice. I hope the veggies are soft!!

Good luck for your fill tomorrow xxx
 
Good Morning everyone, well I'm off to Birmingham this afternoon, should arrive there around 6pm this evening, Banded tomorrow, not sure what time yet I should find out tonight at pre op. Think i've managed to loose 10.5lbs on the pre op diet so pleased with that. I'm not so nervous today as I thought I would be, I think it will sink in when I arrive though. Will keep you all posted, I'm bring my Ipad and phone, I've downloaded some movies to pass the time.
 
I'm now the proud owner of a 10ml band with 5ml in on my 1st fill.
Pretty simple procedure, no drama. Fingers crossed for restriction now

Wow they did a big infill for the first time, how do you feel? can you feel it being tighter already. I never noticed until day two when I went onto soft food, but can honestly say my portions are smaller now, but I still get the head hunger. xx
 
No difference yet but only had soup so far. Gonna have a protein shake later, maybe that'll feel different.
I'm on liquid for 3 says & soft for another 3 days.

I was told one day of each, but realistically I can agree with three days of each, as it was hard to eat afterwards. How you finding being back on fluid, I found it a killer, I went on to soft food the next day and the hunger was unbelievable. How much had you lost in total since doing your pre-diet? xx
 
So far so good but I'm sure I'll b fed up of soft food by tomorrow.
Lost 2 & half stone since 2nd jan. I'm chuffed with that !
