When did you get your fill???

Sorry, I missed your post on Friday

I know that fills can sometimes take a week or 2 to kick in.... if its only been a few days - you might need to give it time?

When I feel like this on my "slacker" days... I NEED to up my Fluid intake... it really helps... make sure you are drinking enough.

The last fill I had took about 2 weeks before it got to this restriction - it's been like this for about 2 months now. It sort of creeped up on me lol !

If it were me, i'd wait a while, give it time to work.

Hope this helps a wee bit

I was filled on 4/7/04 at first i had really good restriction. I go back to the doc on 4/20/04 for a check up and a fill that is almost two weeks do you think that is long enough?

2 weeks should probably be enough time as your fill was relatively small.

I have 3.75 ml in my band & it's a perfect restriction for me. I know that everyone is different - but it might give you a rough guide as to much much you might need?

Have you only got 1cc in your band in total?

I know that the more Fluid you have in your band - then even the tinyest amount can make a world of difference.

I have 1cc right now. I have decent restriction but i still eat more than i need to how much do you eat? I get hungary about every two hrs.

im from the UK, but I "think" the ready meal sizes are the same???

In the morning I have 1 weetabix or 1 handfull of Cereal with semi skimmed milk

lunch I have 2 brown bread with cold meat

dinner I have either a "ready meal for one" (mostly manage all of it - but sometimes only 3/4) or 1/2 chicken breast with 2 baby potatoes & a little veg.

If I get hungry at night, I have a yoghurt or a tin of Soup.

I try to drink as much fluids as possible... that certainly keeps the hunger at bay.

Is there a difference between cc & ml ??
