What can smallest fill be?



Recommended Posts

First week of December I had 1/4cc unfill out of 6cc in my 10cc band. All of my yucky symptoms subsided from a too tight restriction. I'm staying at same weight since December 7...so I need advice. I am feeling hungry between meals, I'm keeping 60-70 gms of Protein up, exercising 3-4 times per week with cardio and weights. I have great energy and got into a size 10...no complaints on that, but I haven't got goal and I'm afraid to get a fill again because I'm afraid to be too restricted. I think I want to have a fill so has anyone ever asked their surgeon for a 1/8 cc fill????? Crazy I know but I do think I need a fill, just don't know how much now.

I have also had a fill of .1cc and an unfill of .1cc.

I would talk with your doctor and tell him all your concerns. Good luck.

      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.
