christafell 0 Posted September 19, 2008 No my doctor says 2-3cc a time depending on my needs. I couldnt imagine doing 1cc at a time- that would end up costing a hell of alot if you are paying out of pocket- seems like you would have to visit him more often than normal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elizabeth08 0 Posted September 20, 2008 you sound like me...i was never one to eat much of the "bad" stuff, but have a quantity issue...i too am eating essentially the same things and on most days, less...however, i feel like i can still eat quite a bit...i'm eating mashed potatoes as well and Soups, etc...i'm definitely having trouble with breads, etc...funny, i can still eat bacon!! we'll see, i'm trying not to get too discouraged with the 10 pounds a month weight loss...saw a lady that lost 40# in her first two months which scared me, but nice to know there's others out there like me! thanks for writing!! don't give up!!

GinaJ 2 Posted September 20, 2008 I am really frustrated. In June I weighed 275 and started Weight Watchers Core. I was losing weight at a regular pace. Two weeks before getting my band on 8/19 I was put on Atkins preop, and the weight loss slowed way down. On the day of surgery I weighed 248. While on liquids, post op, I started losing again. I went down to 238. I have not lost any weight in the last 3 weeks. As of today, I am up to 242. I am scheduled for my first fill on Monday. I am wondering if I should go back to doing Weight Watchers since the high Protein thing doesn't seem to work with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
