3.25 in a 4



Recommended Posts

I went in for my second fill today and I told them to "filler up!" So, they put another 1.75 in my already 1.5 making it 3.25.........should this be a good fill?

3 in a 4 is too much for me. I'm at 2.75 and this is as close to a sweet spot as I'm going to get. So yeah - 3.25 could most definitely be enough for restriction.

I thought my surgeon was agressive with his 0.5 - 1.0 cc fills. WOW. 1.75 at a time, in a 4cc band? Do be careful when you resume eating. Having THAT much fill at once can easily push you into "overfilled."

I was happy to hear the amount you got. I have a 4 cc band, and my first fill was 2cc. I am considering a small fill. But I want to wait a month. It's all good.

I've got 3 and it took me 6 or 7 fills to get there.

Its as good as its going to get for me too. I'm a long way from that typical "sweet spot" description, but then I never ever want to be that tight anyway, sweet spot to me sounds like torture.

I eat about a cup of food at a time, but more often these days since I went from 2.8 to 3 I can block up or have a tiny PB, especially in the morning.

and I came in from a run the other night and threw down a handful of macadamia nuts and a huge glass of Water, my body let me no in no uncertain terms that I cannot eat and gulp anymore, that was ugly but thankfully instant.

3 in a 4 is perfect. I can eat and enjoy eating and even indulge a little but not much.

I was recently put to 3.2. And yes this seems perfect. I don't think I can go any tighter, but you see in other threads that everyone is different.

I read somewhere that restriction really gets serious at 3.0 and that any fill after will be a small fill.

I am a bit surprised that your doc put you up 1.75 in one fill. Seems like a lot to me. But everyone is different.

Let us know how it is going.

      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.
