OMG how little i can eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tinkywinky]

Hello all
OMG. I know its early days yet (2nd fill 5 days ago) but i am amazed at how little i can eat. when on liqs could manage about 3 slim fast shakes and now on sloppy can only eat 1/3 of WW fish pie. Made myself scrambled egg (2eggs) for breakfast and could only manage 4 mouthfuls. i knew band would restrict my eating but wasnt expecting this (not complaining). I really want to jump on scales but resisting untill next week. This time last week was worried i was eating too much and going by this I WAS! lol. wondering what ill be like on normal food??? If i carry on like this Ill reach my goal in no time at all.!!!!!!!!!!!- only kidding.
Every time i eat i expext to be able to have more than the last time. early days yet i know so maybe things will change or have i found my sweet spot at 5mils. watch this space.

thanks for reading.

Oh thats fab, you have made me so excited now!! I had real good restriction for the 1st couple of days after my 1st fill last Friday but it has almost disappeared now :sigh: my next one is 2nd sept, cant wait

Your weight loss so far is fantastic, well done :girlpower:

It's very hard to actually understand when people mention about "struggling" to finish a small meal or a few spoonfulls unless you have had the surgery and for me after having years of a full and over-flowing plate it's what makes it all worth it....That said we all have to work at re-training the mind to accept these changes as now being the "norm"....
Glad things are going well for you...

Thats right about the brain retraining as mine says put more on plate and to eat at certain times bu my pouch is saying no no no.

Hi Tinkywinky,

Are you still feeling the same level of restriction?

I had 3ml...and having my 2nd fill this weekend. I have no restriction! Have you got 5mls in a 10ml band?


I hear about people having really good restriction for 2/3 days...then they loose the restriction again.

Well done with the weightlosses!!
