otters38 31 Posted November 27, 2012 How many cc's are you getting each fill?? My dr was pretty agressive, but I know not all are. I got 1.4 on my first fill and close to 1 each fill after. I am guessing you just don't have any good restircition yet. You will get there and then it will start melting off. Are you able to eat more that what you should?

Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 27, 2012 I had my first fill today, 3cc. The Dr said, "I know your weight loss was all you and I promise you that soon the band will kick in and help". He also said on average most restriction comes between 4-7.5 cc. Are you getting in your Protein first and drinking a lot of Water? Hang in there it will begin to work with you!

Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 27, 2012 I'm at 4.5cc.sometimes I can eat like what I did before it feels like and some days I feel like I eat very little. Are you logging what you eat? Eating only 1 cup? Protein first?I'm sure another fill should help, maybe get you in that green zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kkcrowder 30 Posted November 27, 2012 Or how do you know what a cup is with your Protein first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 27, 2012 I have a ? About the one cup.so if you having a boiled egg for breakfast how do you know If its one cup? They say actually to compress it into a cup. When it comes to meat I always make it 3 oz and then add 1/4 c veggies & 1/4 good carbs. Most the time the Protein fills me before I can get to the veggies & fruit. But they say eat your Protein first. Hope that helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 27, 2012 When I'm eating Greek yogurt or ff cottage cheese, low fat cheese as a Protein I just measure in a cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
