Today I got my 6th fill which puts me at 9.6cc. I am still at a stand still. I am wondering if I need to do something to help my band shrink my stomach. I am considering a liquid diet? And suggestions???

Im sick with strep throat and a fever, I havent ate anything since Wednesday nor drank much of anything due to the pain. Do I need to force myself to eat?

Thanks you guys for the advice, I was able to eat a popsicle very easy, I wanted to try some soup but dont want it to burn!

My band holds 11cc and I am at 9.6cc as of now. I have been on liquids since the 19th and feel okay with it. I just looked at the 5 day pouch and think I will try it since Im already at it. I dont eat much but only get hungry in the evenings so that could be my problem.

It's been three weeks since my last fill putting me at 9.2cc. Today I ate a banana for the first time and became very nauseous! has this ever happened to anyone else? Should I add this to my DO NOt eat list?

I think I am tight also now in the morning because I am not hungry at all in the mornings, it's the evening when i become very hungry and could eat everything in sight. Thanks for the information!

Happy New Year to everyone! Ok you guys, I really need help on making better food choices. I saw the dietician but she wasn't too helpful to me. Maybe because she hasn't went through the surgery herself. Can you guys tell me some safe foods that will work?

I have received 3 fills so far and dont feel any restrictions yet, my last 2 fills were 1cc each. Can the doctor put more then 1cc in my band or is that the max at once?

Ok you guys, I went to see my surgeon today for my 4th fill and I was filled with .6cc, which puts me at 8.6. He stated that now with proper diet and exercise I should start seeing results as of now. However, I didnt gain nor lose any weight!

Wow, that may need to be an option for me depending on what My surgeon does tomorrow. I just feel like by my forth fill I should have some restrictions and I dont.

Thanks guys for all the information. I will let you guys know tomorrow after my appointment.

Hi everyone, My name is Clarissa and today is my first attempt at gaining more of a support team. As of now I only have my friend who is 3 years post surgery and down a great amount. She instructed me to join this group for more support so here goes: I currently had surgery July 2011 and now its time for my 4th fill next week and Im not losing any weight. I can almost eat anything I choose to even pizza or saltine crackers. I dont know what I am doing wrong besides eating.

I lost 22 pounds pre surgery and only 5 since surgery. Im not totally sure exactly how cc's I have I do know my last two fills I was given 1cc each time and my first fill I was given .5 cc's. Im not sure what was done during surgery.

I am new to the site but I am experiencing the same exact thing as you. I get my fourth fill next week but hasnt lost any weight yet. Maybe the two of us really need to support eact other during this process.

Ok you guys, I was instructed to open up more with my diet so I am now doing so. My daily meal may consist of two eggs, beef bacon and grits. lunch is usually baked potato with chives and sour cream, lunch may be a baked chicken green Beans, and mash potatoes or rice. My Water intake is great, I drink about 7 or 8 bottles a day and if i want juice I only drink 100% no sugar added juice. For snack I like cheese, pickles, lots of fruit, or sometimes baked chips or saltine crackers. I must be honest, I havent worked in 5 weeks and onlt walks 2 or 3 times a week. So again what am I doin wrong?
