Lap band
I started with 5.5cc at surgery, 1st fill .8cc, second fill .5cc, 3rd fill .4cc. I'm at 7.2cc and I feel good here.

Birth control!
I take sprintec. It's a very small pill. I have 6.8cc in my band right now and I've never had a problem taking it. Most bc pills are small so you should have no problems.

MyFitnessPal
You can use mfp through your PC to track your nutrition. It's probably not as convenient as app though. Does your kindle have a browser? You could probably get mfp through browser if it does .

MyFitnessPal
Anyone using myfitnesspal? I find it's a great tool to help me track my macros. At first I struggled to get into Protein, but mfp has seriously helped me zero in how I need to structure what I eat to be successful. It also helps me track my weight and measurements. If anyone would like to add me as a friend my username is NikiCBaby Feel free to add your username!

May lap-band
I'm wondering if I am too! I'm at 6.8 cc in my band after 2 fills (yesterday my second) and not hungry at all. I haven't felt hunger though since my prior to surgery.

When did you feel normal?
I was about 3-4 weeks post op

First fill today
My first fill was .8cc and I had nothing added to my band during surgery. I have my second fill tomorrow, 2 weeks after 1st fill

Conference food?
This happens to me often. I always pack my own food when I travel for work. I make sure my hotel room had a fridge. For conferences I always eat before. Also sometimes I'll bring a Protein shake in a coffee travel mug, no one asks what I'm drinking and I can sip on it whenever I want. It stays cold. Also, walk around and converse with people. There seems to always be a group of people who are standing around not eating. Stay busy. If they have healthy options, I stick to Proteins and pick at it if I feel like eating

The scale!
I weigh in every Friday. Between weigh ins I put my scale up in linen closet, if I don't I'll weigh in everyday.

Breakfast of Champions
I'm pretty tight in the mornings. I usually have a premier protein shake (30g protein) that I have to slip really slow and that's it. After my band starts to loosen and I feel my tummy rumbling before lunch I'll have a cheese stick and that holds me over until I eat again.
