2.9cc - 4th & hopefully last fill!



Recommended Posts

Kristi, at 2.2cc and the restriction, are you feeling like you are getting close to the feeling like after your surgery? I am gaining weight back too and it is getting me down. I lost so well and now I am feeling like before the surgery, hungry all the time and can eat fast and anything I want to eat, its very frustrating. It is also scarring me becasue I feel like something could be wrong because I am like I was before the surgery.

Good for you.

I'd love to get to 2.9 or 3.0 but my doctor is 'holding me back' (my phrase, not his) at 2.7-2.8 in my 4cc band. I think I'm one of those who will always need a big more restriction than normal. My body is just goofy about fill level.

I had pretty darn good restriction at 2.5 -2.7 but after I somehow and miraculously actually lost some more weight, I now feel less restriction than I did a few months back. I haven't had a fill since before the summer so maybe I can get "Dr. No" to say yes eventually!:)

:clap2: Congrats on hitting what seems like your Sweet Spot!

Happy Band Journeys to all!

Jolean,

I never had restriction after surgery. I wasn't hungry for exactly 1 day: the day of the procedure because I was in too much pain to eat. After 4 fills I can still gulp Water and the only thing I pb is lean dry hard Protein. Grrrrrr. Well, 5th fill Tuesday, here's hoping I can finally quell the hunger. Like Jack says, it is my own personal dragon/demon.

Just click on the link above the scales. tickerfactory and go to the weightloss tracker and follow the directions.The tricky part is picking the right link at the end to paste to your user signature. after you have the link copied go to your user cp at the top of the LBT page and edit signature. paste the link in your signature. Hope this helps.

Well, I think I am at my sweet spot. Finally!! I have lost 20 lbs. since my 4th fill!!!!! My doc was really cautious filling to 2.9cc. He pretty much said that I was at my limit. So far I haven't lost any restriction. I hope it sticks around! Good luck everyone! I hope you all have hit your sweet spots!

Praise the Lord, could this finally be the sweet spot? As you can see from my ticker its been a fill and unfill journey.....but by golly this might be what I hear y'all talking about. Got fill on 1/23 to 1.9 which is actually .1 over the previous fill that had to be unfilled due to not being able to eat and acid reflux. BUT this time I did what I was told.....no solid food for 4 days unless you count a mushy potato in some Soup. Yesterday was able to eat some pepper steak cut in tiny tiny pieces with a little rice....about a cup saucer size and oh my God! is that the feeling of F U L L! YES! lunch today....ate the small pieces of chicken out of my soup and small salad and 8 frito chips and I'm stuffed..........Okay I'm excited.

      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.
