Nearly a year out...where are you with ccs?



Recommended Posts

I saw my doctor on Monday. I had a fill in May which put me at 8.6 cc in a 10 cc band. Unfortunately, I had lost some of that and was down to 8 cc. So she put me back at 8.6. :omg_smile:

I have a 10cc band and have had three fills for a total of 3.5 cc. On the last fill, the nurse tried to put in 1 cc, but it sealed me right up, so she took out a little until the Water went down. She said she thought 1cc was going to be too much because she felt a little push back on the syringe when she was pushing the saline.

I still seem to eat about the same number of calories (1000 to 1200) but it takes me longer and I usually have at least one "fur ball" incident a day. I never thought I would be able to throw up at will just by thinking about it, but I can now.

My weight is stuck AGAIN, but I am just accepting that I am a stairstep kind of loser. Down five pounds and then nothing for a month or so. I am still giddy about weight loss and am wearing the smallest size I have worn in 18 years. All things in good time....

I have 3.8cc in a 10cc band. That worked great for 2 months. Seemed to be my sweet spot. But this last week, I can eat more than usual. Stuff like toasted bread or Cookies and fries that might cause me to get stuck right away are going down fine. Perhaps its time for another fill. I still have some restriction, but it seems it is hit and miss. One day things go down find and another day I have problems the minuete I take a bite. I wonder if anyone else has that situation.

I am having the same issue right now. I canceled my fill appt this week because I still get stuck but like you a some days are good. I don't get it. I have not lost any weight in over a month..I guess I am stuck. Anyone else out there with the same issue got any insight?

I have 5.65 cc's in a 10 cc band. Just went back to the doctor this past Monday for a follow up and did not get a fill at that time. I had lost 19 lbs since I was there in July and still seem to be doing ok. Occasionally I get stuck especially in the morning but for the most part, I think I'm doing ok and I don't want to risk getting it too tight. Hope everyone is doing well!! :biggrin:

      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.
