Hope you feel better cat? I started back at work today went ok, didn't get a break as usual so didn't eat anything all day till 4pm, I leave at 5.45am, so can't face getting up an hour early to take lanzoprazol before I eat breakfast!. I have started soft/ crunchy, I'm having the opposite to you fee, I can't seem to fit in more than a few teaspoons! Only lost 2 lbs last week and dietician says prob not eating enough, but I genuinely am struggling to get any decent volume in!
Well I feel like I'm finally turning a corner today. Feeling really good. A few people have said they have noticed I've lost weight. Went to Asda and tried a top on a it fits! Will be so nice not having to go to one or two shops.
Made a slow cooked beef stew yesterday and had some with mash and a Brussels sprout was yum!
Anybody else go to the support group in Derby? I think there's one on Wednesday and think I'm gonna go x

I'm feeling loads better thank you
hope all is going well at work, I've been taking cup a soup with me and having a couple if them throughout the day as I don't really get time for breaks. Have managed to increase my fluid intake over the last few days and weight loss has kicked in finally!! I can only get a few spoonfuls in and I am full also x

When I had my band I couldn't eat bread, pasta or rice and I got used to it x
I'm a bit concerned as I can manage a small tea plate size of dinner. Soft foods only but I don't get a feeling of fullness. I don't feel hungry either but it feel like I could eat more if i wanted to. My weight doesn't seem to of gone down this last week either. Although my clothes feel a lot looser.

Fee this is normal. Stick to your portion sizes as you are still healing inside yet hence why you are on the soft stage. While on softs things more often than not they just slide through also the nerves in the pouch havent yet fully healed so you probably wont get that full feeling for a few weeks yet. I was about six weeks in and there was no mistaking it.
Your weight loss will slow down a little now as your body readjusts itself to the new regime. Dont be surprised if it stops for a little bit (stall) especially when you start reintroducing solid food. Its annoying but i have now come to accept them as being all part of the process xx

Thankyou femfrankie for this. You have put me mind at rest now. I'm being strict with portion sizes. I'm recording everything on my fitness pal so I can keep track of what I'm eating x

Guys, these posts have really given me a wake up call. I've been fooling myself that this band will be the answer to everything. I can amble along and live my life as normal with my usual indulgences and the restriction will stop me getting fat. How naive could I be???
Thank you for reminding me that it is a tool to be wisely and dedicatedly used to my advantage. Not a 'Get out of Jail Free' card. I did need a reality check!
Thanks girls. X

Fee I wasn't loosing weight and I've up'd my water and it's now coming off me. I'm the opposite, I feel like I have too much restriction and it appears worse now it's dropped colder (coincidence?) I couldn't even eat my ready brek this morn, although did manage soup at lunch.
