Those of you with a 10 cc band....



Recommended Posts

I went on Wednesday and they added .4cc to bring me to 6.0cc in a 10 cc band and I am pretty tight right now. They say that everyone is different and there will be different sweet spots as you lose as well. So what works for one won't necessarily work for another. All I can say is that you usually recognize it when you are there. Stay encouraged!!

I got my 1st fill today and they have me at 4cc's in a 10cc band. Right now i'm hungry and i'm eating semi-solids just so my hunger can go away.

I think i'm going to be one of those people that need to be 80% restricted so i won't feel hungry.

I got my first fill on 12/15 and am hungry. I ate my half cup and found myself satiated. Two hours later, I am getting hungry. Although, I can feel restriction when I drink. I've decided to follow the book precisely and see how it goes. I can live with a little hunger, I just would prefer to be satisfied for longer after a meal. It is a journey, one I am happy to take.

I thought it was just me. I got my 1st fill today and it seems i'm more starving than anything. I know i'm supposed to have mostly liquids, but i had some Soup earlier (corn chowder w/small potatoes) because i needed something with more substance.

Seems like i'm more hungrier post fill vs pre fill?

Aint that just like my life!huh.gif

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
