Is having a 9cc fill in a 10cc band too much?

What you guys think? :)

I think the fact that you can eat is great, I would be concerned if you couldn't, we need to eat to live.

I am worried though - what are you hoping for? Are you wanting to get to a stage where you can't eat? If you do you run the risk of death or at the very least being miserable on a liquid diet which will be unsatisfying and probably high calorie and could cause you to gain weight. You may also cause your band to slip or get horrible acid reflux.

The band is designed to restrict the amount of food that you can eat so that you eat smaller portions and are satisfied for longer.It does not work with liquids.

I think you need to make an appointment to see your Dr or nutritionist and discuss how the band works and what kind of diet you are supposed to be eating.I don't know if you were not given proper info prior to the op but you certainly seem to be in need of support and guidance.

All the best:smile:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
