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

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!!

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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
