thankyou everyone : D im really surprised as the last 4 days ive hardly ate anything due to feeling really sick at the smell of food so ive literally ate water biscuits and extra light philly for 4 days lol!
ive started introducing solids in ive just managed a small ham salad which i reallyyy enjoyed 1st meal in 5 weeks so it went down a treat : D i think i could probably pretty much anythin now i feel i have no restriction so cant wait for my 1st bandfill : D weigh in today has made me even more determined now! bring it on : D xxx

Charlie, it's interesting to see what other providers recommend re the transition from liquids to solid food ... What are the stages/timings your provider recommends. Who was your provider. Mine THG was two weeks liquid then two weeks mushy before starting solids :D sometimes we banders make comments from our own personal experiences without understanding what other providers recommend ... And as we all learn in this journey there are a lot of variables x

Hey flutterby

I am with mr li at the spire hospital in manchester. I had to do week 1 fluids only week 2 puree week 3 soft foods then onto week 4 start introducing solids they have said i need to avoid bread, pasta and fruit with skin for 6 months post op and if i want to introduce them bk after that time then i can but to be honest im not missing them in the slightest so ill just carry on. Ye it is crazy how different the guidelines can be. I was booked in for my op within a week of consultation so i only had 4 days to do my liver shinking diet which worried me a little but mr li said my liver was fine during surgery : ) how are u feeling hun? Xxx

I am good thanks. Sounds like you have a nice gentle transition to normal foods. Once you are on normal foods it starts the band working better especially as you eat things like salad and crackers etc. the crunchier the food, the harder the receptors in the stomach work, and the fuller you feel for longer...you are doing well :D

Hey : )

Had my 1st band fill yesterday was so simple and straight forward found my port straight away as it was under xray guidance, doctor said everything looks great! He put 1.75ml in so im now upto 6.75 im on fluids for 3 days again now and its all going down fine : ) not so great news i have put on 1lb this week so bit gutted about that but to be fair its been my 1st week bk onto solids after liquids and mush for the last 4 weeks! Back to some hard work to get it back off for my nxt weigh in : ) xxxx
