I'm home and 18 lbs down!

Hello everyone, the hubby has just tucked me into bed, fresh pjs (and those lovely & stylish stockings), a cup of beef broth in my hand and some pain meds on their way. Wanted to say a quick "I did it" and then I am off to rest. I promise details very soon, but needless to say things went very well & I am so glad I have done this! I have lost a total of 18 lbs (16 pre-op diet) so I am to a great start.

Talk to you all soon.

TTFN

Hi, I had a gastric band fitted 8 weeks ago now I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice - I've had my first band fill and im still able to eat more than a couple of mouthfulls before I feel full which I was not expecting to be able to do - is this normal for my first fill??
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks Jamie x

PG, well done and congratulations. I look forward to reading all about your progress.

Hi Jamie, congrats on first fill. How many mls were put it at first fill, every clinic seems to differ. What date was first fill? I just had first fill on 31st oct, had 1.5mls in band from surgery. clinic topped it up to total of 5mls. Now on liquid till tomorrow then told 2 days of mush and build up texture after that. What about you?

Hi Angel Dust
I had my band filled on the 23rd October, and i also had fluid already in my band but I had 2mls. The nurse was going to give me 5mls in total until she found out that I already had 2mls in there - so she has given me 6mls instead. My portion sizes are smaller than what I would've eaten before the band however they are bigger than I thought they were going to be once i'd had my fill. I was led to believe that I would only be able to eat a couple of mouthfulls and i'd be full but at the moment thats not the case! How are you finding the whole thing?? x
