My first fill was 3cc. Yet again all Drs are different.

You really don't want to get a huge fill b/c you could blow right past your green zone.

My Dr said the average fill to green zone is usually between 4 cc-7.5cc

All doctors are different so it really depends on your doctor. Some do up to 5, some 1 or 2 cc.

I had 4 cc in a 10cc band the day of surgery and one cc the 2 times it wasn't until the last .5 that did the trick so its a total of 6.5 cc and so far great.

A lot of people seem to think they need to decide how much of a fill to get before they go to the doctor. I would not even worry about that, just go in and tell your surgeon exactly what's been going on. That is, what your eating when and what the hunger situation is. Then let him use his expertise to decide how much a fill to give you. The first fill several people mentioned is going to be the biggest- the tubing that leads from the port to the band needs to be filled. Good luck and keep on track until you get that fill- you seem like you are doing great.

My Dr. put in 3.6 cc's at the time of surgery. So far, I've had 2 fills. The first one was only 2 weeks ago (3 1/2 months after surgery) and he only put in 1 cc. I had my second fill of 1.6 cc today for a total of 6.2 in my 10cc band. Hopefully, I'm on my way to the green zone :) Reading everyone's posts here though, it looks like everyone is different and what works for one might not work for another. I log my food and even though I may be hungry, I don't over and I measure everything.

I just think I shouldn't feel this hungry I eat twice a day saled and a shake in the morning 1/2 cup of chicken or beef and romain or spinich tomatoe and cottage cheese or Italian dressing

You should be eating 3 meals a day.

3oz of solid Protein 1/4 veggies1/4 good carbs.

Previous poster is right, everything you're eating besides chicken & beef is slider food.

Dr & Nut said salad is a slider and not to eat it until you are in the green zone.

I would be starving too if I ate your menu! If I get hungry between meals I'll have a cup of herbal tea or SF hot chocolate. Takes the edge off.

the band wont stop you from filling hungry (nor will a fill)

it will help you eat less

if you are hungry, eat a Protein filled food.

Proteins will help you stay full longer (it does for me and i have no fills yet)

also, drink alot. it could be head hunger

but if you are hungry eat. just eat smart.

just my thoughts/opinions.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
