    Advice please

    Hi all I had a fill in early October following the birth of my daughter in August, went up to 6mls which was ok restriction wise but still didn't feel I was restricted to the right point (as I had been in 2013 at 8mls) so went back for a fill this Sunday. I went up to 7.5mls and I am still on...

    After fill diet

    So I seem to remember I used to have one day liquids, one day mushy and then back to normal. This morning I was told three days at each stage. What do you do? Also, soup with small lumps in is it liquid or mushies? A bit confused!

    Gastric Band - Let's be honest?

    Bananas - driving me bananas

    Thank you, it's a result of weight loss for sure, was told in may I would need IVF to conceive again!

    Gastric Band - Let's be honest?

    No one should beat themselves up over a treat, a treat is a treat and it is normally mini-sized yumminess, not family sized!! seriously this is why that side of the family do not know about my band, they would be all judgemental and about how it hasn't worked for SIL - ummmmm you don't say!

    Gastric Band - Let's be honest?

    No never crossed my mind, although I do have a thing about texture and blended food or lumpy food is my absoloute nightmare, even when I was on mushies I struggled so it wouldn't ever appeal to me I suppose. My SIL had a band and was known for still eating huge tubs of icecream.....yes she...

    My Journey....

    Val - my band is similar to yours and it changes daily what it will tolerate so I have to go with the flow. One thing I will say is that salad (particularly lettuce) is a complete no go for me, it's like it clings to my band and sticks there!! X
