How Many Cc's To Get Restriction?



Recommended Posts

So I've only had one fill and still feel super hungry. I feel like i don't have a band. :(. I have my next fill 9/13, i can't wait. I really want to lose at least 30 lbs before xmas. How may fills did you have to get to feel restriction? And how many cc's. What band did you get?

i just got my 5th fill today on a 14 cc band, i'm currently at 7.8 cc's, the doctor told me that hopefully with this fill i would get to my green zone, i too was really hungry but afraid to overeat, i was eating a cup of food and she told me that for me it wasn't enough food so we'll see in a couple of days how i feel....

I have 10 1/4cc on a 14cc band and now i kind of feel am in the greenzone, it took me all this time toget there. I can feel the restriction finally, my doctor was considering removing this band and replacing it for a smaller 10cc band, thank god is working now.. I felt hungry for like the longest time, hang in there, it will get better...

I had my first fill last Wed. I have a 10cc band, my doctor added 2 cc's so I have a total of 3 in my band now. I'm only about 10 or so weeks post-surgery, and I can tell with this adjustment that things are harder to swallow and I have to be extra careful. I'm still becoming pretty hungry before time for my next meal, so I guess I'll have to get more added next month. I asked my doctor how much he's ever had to add to someone's band and he said no more than 7 cc's. So I'm getting there.... but I'll be glad to find that greenzone too!

      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.

      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.
