Is it possible to still need a fill with 8cc already?



Recommended Posts

I am not sure how I am supposed to feel but with 8 cc I feel like I need another fill. I eat the cup if food but I feel like I can eat more. There are times when I can just stop and be ok with the cup of food and there are times when I feel I need more. Is my head really that our of control?

Unfortunately we can't answer that for you. Only you can tell if it's head hunger or real hunger. But don't expect the band to stop you from eating more than a cup of food- that's not it's job. It's your job to stop at a cup of food and the band's job to keep you satiated on it for 4 or more hours.

Best wishes.

I am not sure if this will help you, or not. But, I have an AP Large Lap Band that will hold 14 cc; just had a fill on Wednesday, Jan 9th ===> I am now at 9 cc.

I ask my surgeon about it. He said that it depends upon your current weight. The example he used was a 9 cc fill in a 14 cc band is different for a person that weighs 200 pounds than it is for a person that weighs 100 pounds.

I think sometime people can kind of get addicted to getting fills. They never want to feel hungry. It's okay to feel like you could eat more, but are you satisfied with not eating more? Are you extremely hungry between meals? I sometime think we forget that it's okay to be a little hungry. However, even at 8cc you may not be where you need to be. It's such a personal decision! Only you can determine whether it's time for another fill. Who knows, maybe a small tweak will get you where you feel satisfied!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
