dalex got a reaction from Kimmypoo38 in Banded For Two Years 1/2 And Haven't Met My Goal!!!Dear TKW
May be it's by bad math, but I added all cc's in your band and it came up to 18 cc in 10 cc band. Am I wrong, or they can do it ? I am concerned because I have only 4,5 cc empty and another 60 lbs to go..

dalex reacted to B-52 in How Can I Help My Band Shrink Up?There are times when I'm going along and I feel my portions are starting to get larger than ususal.....I don't measure/weigh food, I rely on the band to give me feedback.
But in cases like that I go to iquids for a day or 2, Protein shakes, Soups, etc, anything but solids.
This usually "tightens" things back up for me,
We used the term "Tighten up the band" I'm not sure that is what is happeneing, as much as our pouch stretching and contracting.
You can try the 5 day pouch test as previously mentioned. It is someones clever way of structuring a liquid only, then mushie schedule, and abbreviation of a post op diet.
It does work.
