Strange what you can and cannot eat isn't it...Like yesterday I could not eat cold chicken, today I was having tinned salmon on a cracker and could not eat that either..
seems if the food is dense its hard to swallow..
yet I ate a big dish of low fat bolognaise tonight as I was so hungry

Annoying isn't it. A teaspoonful of salmon can have me rushing to the loo to be sick yet next day it's fine and I can eat the full portion I have allowed myself. Any thing slidey like bolagnaise just slides through my pouch so I have to be really cautious and stick to my portion size but find I don't get any full feeling or satisfaction from them to be honest other than it tastes good and makes me yearn more
.. Not sure if it's similar for banders though

Big (((((HUGS))))) Val. Its one of those things that you have no control over & its a case of watching on in the hope that it all eventually turns out to be the best for all concerned in the long run. Try and find something to distract you from the stress other than food ie. go long walks, decorate the house ... anything xxx

Awww val I'm so sorry to hear that I hope your daughter and everyone involved are bearing up ok. As Frankie said try to distract yourself. The best you can do is be there and strong for everyone involved. At least one plus point is even in this most stressful time you are able to keep making sensible choices. Was it a big shock for you all? X x x

Aww hun so sorry about your family troubles. I know it must be heartbreaking for you, but these things happen. Rather they go their separate ways than try to stay together and be even more unhappy.
I do feel sorry for those young kids though
My fill was meant to be today but it got cancelled because the nurse is illl, so it's now been rebooked for Monday. Fingers crossed for yours tomorrow, I hope your port hasn't flipped.

Okie dokie the news on the band fill..
Diet wise still slow but steady..then went to have fill with nurse..took several attempts again, she thinks the port is on its side she can get to it but it difficult, spoke to surgeon and he says see how fill go's next time if it hasn't improved he will have to look into it :/
Its only guaranteed for 6 months so the nurse said its good its noted so if any problem appear again it will be done without charge... Mmmmm think I will believe that when I see it... :?
Anyway I now have 10 mls in a 14 ml band..see what tomorrow brings, see if restriction is kicked in

How annoying if it is on its side, but at least it's fixable FOC and you should hopefully only have one little incision if it needs stitching back in place.
At least you still got the fill, fingers crossed it does the trick.

No I don't think so...The nurse her name is Fryday she is totally lovely she really is considered the expert in fills and I trust her completely...she thinks its a very difficult port to fill and may need adjusting but it the general anaesthetic over again, Im not bothered about the cuts its being put under I hate :/
