eat in one sitting



Recommended Posts

This question is for the people that have been banded for several months with no fill. How much can you eat in one sitting? I really want to avoid getting a fill for some reason, but I feel like I'm eating more than I should. I'm still losing weight, but scared I'm eating too much. I don't eat slow enough to listen to my band, so I'm looking for more portion size answer.

Rollo, I've been banded more than 18 months and have not had any fills. Sometimes the feeling of satiety does not always kick in right away so I eat Weight Watcher type portions. Typically, 3 oz. Protein, 1/2 cup of veggies and 1/4 cup of carbs. You can see from my ticker that it's worked very well for me.

Hi Rollo..my surgery was June 26th.. Still haven't had a fill nor do I need one. Losing between 1 to 3 pounds a week! I eat about a cup per meal. I mostly have Protein Shakes for Breakfast.< /p>

There are a few of us Nana. It's uncommon but not unheard of. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

      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.

      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.
