So I have a Dr. Appt coming up on Friday. I have 7cc in a 10cc band, I definitely feel restriction but I do not feel I am in the green zone. Does anyone have more than 7cc in a 10cc band if so how much?. I am a little over six months out from surgery. It's it's regular to still not be in the zone with it filled that much?

I just had my second fill today, and I do feel some restriction with it. I did not feel that with my first fill. Though this time I forgot to ask how much they put in the band, but it feels good so far.

I'd like to know if anyone out there has an answer to your question as well. The PA I spoke to today told me there are some people that come in and don't need anything put in the band at all and then there are some that have up to 9CC's in the band before they reach that "green zone".

I'd like to know what other's experiences are.

My PA said the same thing, some people don't have any Fluid in their band and are in the green zone where others have 9-10cc in their bands before they feel like they are in the green zone. Depends on the person I guess.

      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.
