Anyone have less than 1/2cc fill?



Recommended Posts

I got 1cc before Thanksgiving, and that was too tight, so got .5 taken out. Felt much better, now I'm hungry every two hours despite my best efforts.

Was wondering if I should call the dr and see if less than 1/2cc is going to make a difference?

My past 2 fills have all been .2--yes that's right .2. The nurse said that I am too close to 7cc--which is the max my dr wants for his patients...so they are now filling .2--if I need a fill. The last visit I didn't get one at all.

O really?!?!? Thank you for replying- I've been feeling really upset about this, thinking they can't possibly do less than .5cc!

My 6th fill in June of 2012 took me to the green zone but I was getting stuck a lot. So, I went in and had .5 removed. I still get stuck occasionally but it does seem like I'm hungry far too often and I can eat too much and seldom feel satisfied. I'm going in for my 8th adjustment this Friday and I imagine it will be .5 or less. .25 would be fine with me. I don't mind sneaking up on this green zone again, only, I hope I'm smarter this time around?

Looking back I believe the reason I was getting stuck so often and had .5 removed was because I wasn't eating properly. Oh, I ate the right foods, just not the right speed and bite amount. I think I've learned how to eat smaller, slower and chew more now. At least I hope I've learned this lesson. I do read a lot of my fellow forum members can eat less than a cup of food and feel satisfied and not eat for 4-5 hours. I need to be there.

As I got closer to the greenzone my fills were either .2 or .3 every two to three weeks till I got to were I needed to be and without blowing right past into the redzone.

I also have had .1cc added & removed. And Missy is right it can make a world of difference.

      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?

      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.
