Jan 08 bandster fill poll



Recommended Posts

I have 8cc in my 10cc band and I have found restriction to the point that I am not hungry within 2 hrs after a meal. I am curious as to how much ccs in my fellow Jan 08 bandsters and when and if you got to this point where you are not so hungry.

I have 3.5 cc in a 5 cc band (last fill little less than 1 month ago). I'm really happy with my level of restriction. When I eat solid Protein it's usually at least 4 hours before I feel hungry again.

I have 2 ccs in my 10 cc band. I had my first fill back on Feb 29th. I used to have good restriction, but now have none during the day. I'm so glad that I'm getting my 2nd fill on July 11th.

I am at 7.8 in a 10cc band and I have awesome restriction. I'm never hungry and sometimes and I have sit and think about what I even ate for the day. I used to track my calories regiously on fitday but I am finding that I know longer need to do it. I will of course resume when I notice that my calorie intack is increasing but for now everything is perfect.

Well I am too damn tight, and had a bad weekend. 5 out of 6 of my siblings and families, along with my parents, and one of my sisters inlaws got together for the weekend. 17 adults, 7 kids, and my mom cooking all weekend.

So, in a nutshell, Friday, one hamburger, 2 Slimfast. Saturday, 2 chicken cutlets, cottage cheese. Sunday, one slice of ham. Thats all I was able to keep down all weekend. Had a sugar free ice, and sugar free chocolate pudding here and there, and 4 slices of cheese all weekend.

Tried other things, but got down one or two bites. I PB'd Watermelon!!! Yep watermelon.

If it wasn't for the Propel that I could actually get down and my Vitamins, I would have come out of this weekend sicker than I feel.

So, I don't know what to do at this point. My mother didn't like my color this weekend. I still had energy, able to swim everyday and do my walks.

HI all. Congrats on everyone's weight loss. I am little discouraged. I have 6cc's in my band, my last fill was 6/26. My next appointment is not until late August. He says I am doing well, but I don't feel like it. I have started running since my third fill and ever since thenI have had very little restriction. The strange thing is the only time I feel full is whenI have had liquids for me to be able to tell. I am praying that the fill will "kick in" soon. I just have no idea when. So I guess I am still looking for the restriction and the getting hungry soon to go away. Right now I am on will power.

I am sitting at 6.2 cc in a 10 cc band and pretty happy with it. I resemble normal when eating with other people, meaning I can eat most things that are not 'doughy'. I just eat slow and dh gets to eat and I take care of the little ones in between bites. Works out well for me.

This is great to hear, I feel like there is something wrong with me with having 5.5 cc in a 10 cc band and have another appt on wednesday for my 5th fill. I have some restriction but not enough. I can eat a whole hamburger and don't think I should be able to...thank you for the comfort that i'm not crazy

Hi Everybody, thanks for the info. Isn't it amazing that we are coming up on our 6 month anniversary. I am much happier and healthier than I was 6 months ago. I cleaned out my closet last night and am not keeping my "fat clothes" around anymore. I don't intend to go back up.

I am at 5cc's in a 10cc band. I just had my last 1cc put in on Monday so I am still adjusting to the last fill. I can eat anything, and only feel a little discomfort when eating scrambled eggs or chicken.

I so hope this last fill will give me some restriction!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
