Hi there, band fitted in Jan 09, surgeon put in 3ml at opperation then after 6 weeks I had my first infill and the doc put in another 3ml, so im now up to 6ml in a 10ml band, is this alot to have put in, in such a short time ????, im feeling ok, have restriction, but some days i coould eat everything, I dont though im very good:tongue_smilie:, one day I can eat then the next day im not hungry atall, is this right ??. I go away in 3 weeks long haul to the states so they wont give me a fill untill I come back, im loosing 1-2lb a week still so I dont think I need a fill just yet, but want to loose this weight so badly, so far lost 28lbs in 7 weeks and need to loose another 28lb to get to target, start weight 186lbs target 126lbs, think this will be ard as i dont have that much to loose. thanks xxxx

saundersd, it sounds like you are having a fantastic weightloss. 1-2 pounds / week is great. Keep on doing whatever the hell it is you're doing, because it's working for you, sister!!

BTW, don't concern yourself much with how much "fill" you have in you. Everybody is soooo different that it's a very subjective thing. Picture two joggers.....one is a successful veteran while the other is a newbie. Newbie turns to the veteran jogger and asks "Hey, you're doing great. I'd like to have some of that success. What size shoes do you wear?" In the end, it doesn't matter one bit, as long as it's doing the job.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
