KeeKee99 0 Posted April 8, 2011 I had my first fill yesterday! I had 1.6 cc in it to begin with - so he just put in .4cc to top it up to 2cc! Told me they go about this very conservatively and slowly - which I don't mind at all...this way I don't get any complications. I do feel that I get fuller a heck of a lot quicker and I don't get hungry so quickly which rocks my world! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sophinator 2 Posted April 28, 2011 Boy is it quiet around here!! I FINALLY got my first fill today! Funny I would consider my dr. very conservative but yet he told me I didn't have to do just liquids after my fill...I do notice a bit of a difference...will see how tomorrow goes. Wasn't painful just a little pokey. Will go back in another 6 weeks and he will add more...he does the first two in 1cc incriments and then goes down from there as needed. I already had 2cc's in there at placement so I now have 3cc's. What is everyone else at?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elle23 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Hi Soph! I agree -- it's very quiet around here. I hope everybody is going okay! I'm glad your first fill went well! My doctor sounds almost exactly like your doctor! I got my first fill a little quicker than you (about 7.5 weeks out from being banded) -- I had 2 cc's from installation and he added 1 cc -- for 3 cc's total. My second fill isn't until almost the end of May -- and I do think that I need a little more (he will add another 1 cc), because I am getting a little hungrier between meals...almost moreso than before the first fill. Weird?! It might be because I'm exercising more, but it's still kind of strange. LoL. How many calories a day are you eating? I'm doing pretty good sticking to 1200 a day with 65+ grams of Protein...now if I can only get DH to ditch the Ben & Jerrys! UGH! Have a great day fellow bandsters!

Kiskis 56 Posted April 29, 2011 The posting string on-line is lost? I weight in daily as I am a scale addict. I have been really sick these last 2 weeks and haven't been able to workout. When I do my workouts with weights I can lose 1-2 lbs/wk. I am at 5 CC's and think I am good. I still get hungry every 2 hours. I eat no more than 1 cup of food and sit around 1400 calories. Down 5 lbs total for the last month with being sick & Easter. My clothes are getting bigger . Good luck all! Cheers, Kristi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
