My doctor told me yesterday to do liquids for 2 days after my first fill. He put 4cc in a 9cc band. They also said I could do liquids and mushies a little longer if I wanted. Has anyone done this to get to a "goal" like 199lbs? Or, do you just end up getting stuck at your current weight because of lack of intake?

I have ended up doing liquids for a few days after my last few fills. I had swelling that made me very tight. You want to make sure your not vomiting, as that makes swelling worse. I wouldn't reccomend doing it to increase weight loss. You want to be developing good eating habits that will stay with you through the journey. Good luck!

I always have to do at least three days of liquids...i swell so easy so I get small fills every time. I do drop a few lbs which is nice, but I don't do it for the extra loss.

I wouldnt do mushies/liquid to just reach your goal of onderland because it wont last once you eat the solids and you will be starving. I would stick to solid proteins, low carbs and exercise...you will get there and be satisfied. I know I sat at 200 for like 3 weeks...I am finally down 4 more pounds this week, but I do have a tighter fill and a bunch of restriction so I try to stick with protein.
