    angelface211 got a reaction from Mikee57 in 10cc banders   
    I have a realize band and it supposedly holds 11cc but I'm at somewhere around 12cc because my doctor said they can all hold more than they say they can hold. We're not sure exactly how much is in the band because when she tries to take all of the Fluid out she said it's impossible because some is always left in the tubing so I could be between 11 and 12cc. She said she has filled others to the max also because patient didn't feel any restriction. I had .25 taken out in October and haven't lost any weight in 4 months eventhough I go to a very rigorous bootcamp 4-5 days a week and eat my small meals, prob 3 is all I can manage. I'm going to doc tomorrow to see if I need more out because I still get a lot of reflux and sometimes food gets stuck. The band is a tricky thing. You should prob get a small fill if you are still hungry after meals.

    Your nutritionist will give you a list of Vitamins to take and Protein powders and drinks. You try different ones and see what works for you. For me since I have a band, the pills got hard to swallow so I went to chewables. I use Viactiv for Calcium and Centrum burst chewables for multivitamin, they taste like skittles. Good luck.
