Ok so I am 8 week post op today, as of this morning I have had no effects of the band at all. Basically it has been like no band was put in, I honestly thought it had come undone or something as I have had no effects.
Anyway I had a fill on Wednesday to 4.5cc in a 10cc and for the past few days I have been on liquids. So today arrives mushy's - I was late getting the kids ready so didn't eat breakfast, starving for dinner so just had mashed potato and because I was hungry wolfed too big spoonfuls.
Now the pain I felt was awful, like I have swallowed a brick, then loads of saliva and the feeling of wanting to be sick and hiccups. Not pleasant in the slightest and I was glad to be near a toilet. I sipped water and eventually the feeling went after 10 mins. I assume this is pbing.
So now I know A) I have a band yipeee, the operation wasn't a hallucination and B) chew chew chew, and eat s-l-o-w-l-y.
It was a big shock to be honest to eat like 'normal' for 8 weeks and then on first fill to get that feeling. I feel optimistic actually that the band will work for me, and it's a lesson well learned.
