How much does your pouch hold?



Recommended Posts

Hi I have been banded almost three months. I had last fill just about a month ago. I have noticed this week when I eat I feel super full for 3or 4hours. I mean lead brick full. I am only eating a very small amount, but wondering if I'm eating to much. How much should I be eating at a time?

I eat about a cup at each meal. Sometimes more depending on what it is and right now I need a small fill.

mine is set up for 4oz. at a shot, but if I do 4oz, I feel uncomfortable. So I measure 3 and deal with it. Otherwise I was always told that I was just to sensitive. So if I eat 4 oz. I have to chase that down with Water.< /p>

I can eat about a cup to a cup and a half of food per meal (I THINK I eat more than I do, but I really don't haha, I eat about 4oz of Protein and some sort of f side usually about a 1/4 cup of whatever it is.) and I'm full 5 hours or more. When was your last fill? For me, after my fill a few weeks later all of a sudden I just felt full all the time no hunger.

It's different for everyone.. for me, if I over eat I get all gassy and feel weird.

      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...

        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.
