yvonnebanded said:
Hi ya I finally got my fill date through It's the 3rd April it'll be 2 days shy of 10 weeks since my operation date. And it can't come quick enough. I've gained 1lb this week. Feel so low I know its only a tool and its me who has to work with it. Its just so hard. Any tips ladies I'd gladly receive them. I hope your all well xxx

Hi Yvonne. I'm feeling the same today. I've gained this week too, after making changes last week which were supposed to help!!!! Its so depressing! I tried measuring myself to cheer me up, everything the same except thighs are bigger but bust is smaller , well that's just great (I'm already bottom heavy!)
I know its just a blip & were in this for the long haul but i cant help it getting me down. I've had a terrible eating day today too. 1800 calories!!! Worst day since I started pre-op by a long way, i hope i can get back on track tomorrow.
It is really hard work working with a band that gives you no restriction! Hugs back to u

Oh hun. I'm deffo with you but we can do this. We've come so far. Let's draw that line and start a fresh tomorrow. I need to plan my meals thats my downfall. Big hugs xxx

Ahhh thanks for the hugs. Much needed. I may have to draw my line the day after tomorrow. I have a stressful morning followed by a depressing afternoon ! Oh joy! That said if i can do tomorrow i can do most days.
I do suspect that this is one of the hardest periods for banders, until we find our restriction the weight loss is because of our hard work only!!! We should be proud of that! You're right though, planning is so important. Onwards & upwards & big hugs back to u x

You tube mr super & hes a little clip on there. I know your with nijjar but it'll give you an idea of the hospital etc. Nijjar did my 1st consultation as I was going to have a sleeve. Then i changed my mind xxx
 
They have made you wait far too long for your infill. Hows the weight loss going? I had my second fill today, went well, but tonight I could not swallow any soup, I am hoping this passes by tomorrow otherwise I will have to go back and have some taken out again. so far 4 mls in 10ml band x
 
No bad reaction this time? It might settle a bit overnight, I hope so for you. I do feel angry I've had to wait 10 weeks but I suppose as I didn't pay they've got me over a barrel. Weight loss has stopped and trying so hard to just maintain at the minute. It was my birthday yesterday so I was naughty. I need restriction & can't wait to get some. Isnt it mad how 1ml of water can make such a difference xxx
 
How's the fill felt today Donna? Are you tolerating it ok? They put more in this time than last time didn't they?
I had 0.7ml in today putting me up to 5.7ml. So far soup & liquids fine. Was surprised it wasn't more as I had 3.3 in last time.
They advised me to drink a lot more (not tea or coffee) so had a herbal tea binge! It's sorted out my constipation! I feel half a stone lighter!
When's ur date again Yvonne? Is it much longer to wait?
Ps same weight as 3 weeks ago :-(

I am so constipated its untrue, I have such problems going to the loo now, I am on liquids too for a few days, finding this a killer. I want to eat food. I am still losing every week, usually around 2 lbs, but I find I have to be very disciplined with my eating, its not an easy option is this band, its bloody hard work. x
