Who Has A 14Cc Band?



Recommended Posts

I have a 14 cc band and a little over 11 cc's in it. My doc said that she's never seen it happen that a 14 cc band goes over 13 cc's without feeling restriction. I feel like I am close to green, but not quite. At this point my doc only does .2 cc's at a time, where before it was pretty aggressive fills.

It's so different for each of us- everyone's body is different.

I have an AP lapband which holds 14cc my dr gave me 5cc in surgery day and yesterday I had a 1cc fill total since Oct 19,2012 6cc in my 14cc band. Feeling okay. Like in between green an yellow zone but maybe more green! :) I'm content for now.

      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.
