Hi

I have been on this SLOW journey since May 2009 Had a Gastric Band fitted Privately in the Uk in Kent under Mr Nisar..BMI

My Band was not secured correctly with the staples and flipped over.. So I had to have another Operation 4 months Later to stitch it back in place and have a Fill

.. Now settled previously given 5 cc in the band so I am told during the Operation..

I an eating a Normal diet on the Soft side.. Cannot eat dough as it gets stuck but can eat meat if chopped up and chewed well.

I eat Porridge or Boiled eggs for Breakfast

One Main meal in the afternoon about 4to 5pm dinner sized Plate..eating normal sized portions..

I have some restriction although not enough it seems to get the weight off..I have a back injury so I cannot lose the weight that easy as if I were exercising..;( problems with walking too far..

I am 54 passed the menopause.. Metobolics on a go slow I think??

How Much in cc's on average is needed to start losing even if its a only a pound a week.. Has anyonne done a Poll on this question?

Help needed Please????

Cheers Dawn

There's really no answer to that. Everybody is different. I have 5.8cc in a 10cc band. Most people don't realize that 10cc's is only equal to 2 teaspoons. It's taken me almost 3 years to figure out where my sweet spot is. Just keep going for your fills until you reach a point that works for you.

Thank for taking the time to answer.. I guess thinking about it that right two tsp or one desert spoon not much really is it.. Seems to be working for you though well done..

I will do as you suggest thanks!
