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?

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!

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.

Or how do you know what a cup is with your Protein first?

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!

When I'm eating Greek yogurt or ff cottage cheese, low fat cheese as a Protein I just measure in a cup.
