I take Biotin 2500 mcg liquid softgel twice a day by nature made, when im tight I squeeze out the liquid into a vitamin water, but it is a little bigger than an aspirin and usually goes down well.

I agree with the above, i did little by little and i know it is more expensive, but is the best way to do it. Again, it takes time for the brain to realize that you cannot eat like you used to. You have to work on both the brain and the right fill amount and that takes time. It took about 5 months and one little unfil to get to the right place. God Bless, m-

Hi Beck, what is an example of what you can eat during each meal? It took me about 4 fills to get to the sweet spot. for example for breakfast, which i cannot eat anything until around 9:30, i have about 8 oz of coffee with a laughing cow cheese. For lunch 8 oz of soup with small salad, dressing on the side, for dinner I eat in my sons cereal bowl usually chicken, ground meat, or salmon, with about 1/2 spoon of rice with beans. I am less tight as the day goes by, but i have to be careful not to eat to late or over eat, i get sick. In between meals I try to eat a spoonful of peanut butter. I run 5 miles 3 days a week and have a trainer 2 days a week. I had a flipped port 2 times and had to have it fixed. Wha i do know is it takes a while to get to sweet spot. also the first doctor I went to get fills at thought he was filling when in fact nothing went in. He thought i had 5 cc and when i switched doctors I had 1cc. I am at 6cc of a 10cc port. I have had one slight unfil, i dehydrated and lost 7 lbs in 2 days, most awful feeling. Everyone is different, but you have to work closely with your doctor because the band does not work unless you get you fills as needed, and I know they are expensive. Patience over everything, I didnt get to be almost 300lbs over night and surely know I would not lose it over night either. I am 25lbs away from my first goal of 175lbs. It slows down, not as fast as at the beginning, I had days i went up 2, down 2 for weeks, Just dont drive yourself crazy, keep it up and you will see it will start to happen! Good luck! God Bless, m-
