I've tried loads but like the Atkins dry powder or the ready made cartons. LOADS of protein, tasty, mixes easily and not bad price-wise either. Xx

I'd try band provider first. Hope you're ok. xxxxx

Thanks Mazza & Flutterby, I've had 7.5 in for a few months, I think it might be hormones affecting it coz I managed to eat a bit of chicken curry last night (homemade & low fat, lol). I'm going through the menopause and having terrible mood swings & flushes but HRT doesn't suit me. I really must...

I I've been banded about 10 months and have 7.5 in a 10ml band. Yesterday I ate a bit of yoghurt: cold stuff is a no no for my band: since then no matter how slowly I eat or drink it comes back up. After sleeping I woke up & tried milky coffee, usually helps, it came back up. I've managed...

Poor Tranquil, I hope it settles down or at least you get the op SUPER fast. xxxx I still get pain around my port and the scar on my left side, the nurse says they are ok BUT I have been exercising big time, including crunches and Russian Twists (ab exercise). Hope you BOTH get it sorted, in...

Newcy what's a 'dab'? He was lovely though, that American triner. Anyone watch Fat Fighters? I kept thinking of Little Britain, lol!(eat dust NOT cake!) They were a weird but effective bunch, I wanna learn that PussyCat Dolls workout, it puts Rosemary Conley's Salsacise to shame!. xxx sharon

Caren & Liesa, yep I cried for him, he was so brave. Poor My Somers too, he looked devastated. I hope the funding board were notified, if he'd had the surgery THEN he might be here NOW. I loved that Irish lady yesterday, she was SO pretty and her vivacity after losing weight..she 'glowed' I...

Mio, WTG! I've been the same, nothing moving much in the scales dept but losing inches. Since my last fill things have sped up quite a bit and I'm rarely hungry but it has been hard and at times upsetting, spending £6k and at one point only losing a blooming stone! I even logged calories and...

TB hope ur feeling better, did it settle yet? I had a bout of being sick after a fill,even water or warm coffee made me ill; it scared me but did eventually settle down. I now use baby cutlery to eat (but not when out, lol!) xxxx sharon

Oh I'm trying not to judge, I just get upset for children in these situations. I do love seeing the "afters" they are given their lives back and I'm so happy they can get the operations and live again. xxxx Sharon

Am I alone in the fact that I'm torn between sympathy and disgust? I felt so angry with the woman whose small son has to clean and bathe his own Mum, ok I have eating problems but I could never let my children shoulder the work. I have enjoyed seeing how much their lives change and their faces...

I had my band in July and since FINALLY getting restriction,:D my band is odd, one day milk gets 'stuck' yet later crispy chicken goes down ok!:eek: It doesn't seem to be 'monthly' stuff (I'm through the menopause) stress or anything, it just seems to go 'funny', tight one minute, loose another...

I was 'done' in July and I don't know if it's the band stopping air getting out but I trump SO much now, though I rarely burp! If you are in pain I'd ring up, just to be on the safe side. xxxx sharon

Sounds terrible, I hope it settles soon and you can enjoy food without pain, reflux or pb. I'm sure if you watch your calories for a bit you'll be ok and you'll be able to get a small refill. xxxx sharon

I don't think we are supposed to go by calories, protein first, then veg then carbs if you have room. BUT I have 12-1300 cals a day and exercise 4+ times a week for 30 minutes, it helps me keep track of what I'm doing. xxxx sharon ps As you can see I haven't lost loads coz I went through a...

I think maybe the swelling is going down around your band? I'm sure Maz or other more 'experienced' people can help.But that is what I think might have happened, they can be very tempremental these bands! Hope things settle soon for you, I'm 3 months down and three fills in and FINALLY getting...

I found that after my last fill anything cold or cool would not go down, even water! Yet soup (tomato) milky coffee etc was ok. It is SO weird isn't it? Shame about your band liking chocolate though, lol;) I can't have crisps any more, great in one way but I do 'miss' them, they were my fave...

Thanks for the quick reply, Mazza, the first time I glugged it, been boxing, lol! But subsequent times I've sipped slowly & still got it. I think I'll give it another week, or maybe less & if it doesn't settle I'll have to get a bit taken out, thanks again! xxx sharon

CRISPS!! My fave 'pig-out' food, so really it is good, at least for weight-loss. Most other stuff is okay, or was til my last fill. xxx sharon

Hi, I had my third fill, 7ml now in a 10ml band, warm stuff is ok but as soon as I have cool water, or even at room temperature is gets stuck.:cry: Yoghurt is a bit better, yet I managed 1/2 an Admiral's fish pie ok, any tips or advice would be great! I should be on normal foods by now (fill was...
