@@verna2197 Definitely go in to see the Dr. you said you have approx 3.4 cc so you have room to add more if you need to.

What you are looking for in terms of "restriction" are satiation signals. Eating a small tennis ball sized meal, Protein first of course and then not being hungry for at least 3-4 hours after. The food should be of solid consistency not a smoothy or slider food like Soup.

If you find that your volume is higher, or your hungry and soon after you have eaten then you may need a tweak to the band.

If you are not able to tolerate solid foods, then your band could be too tight.

Here is a guide I stole from CG's post earlier, it will help to define where you want to be in terms of eating and fill level.

      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.
