My first fill was 3cc. Yet again all Drs are different.

You really don't want to get a huge fill b/c you could blow right past your green zone.

My Dr said the average fill to green zone is usually between 4 cc-7.5cc

All doctors are different so it really depends on your doctor. Some do up to 5, some 1 or 2 cc.

I had 4 cc in a 10cc band the day of surgery and one cc the 2 times it wasn't until the last .5 that did the trick so its a total of 6.5 cc and so far great.

A lot of people seem to think they need to decide how much of a fill to get before they go to the doctor. I would not even worry about that, just go in and tell your surgeon exactly what's been going on. That is, what your eating when and what the hunger situation is. Then let him use his expertise to decide how much a fill to give you. The first fill several people mentioned is going to be the biggest- the tubing that leads from the port to the band needs to be filled. Good luck and keep on track until you get that fill- you seem like you are doing great.

My Dr. put in 3.6 cc's at the time of surgery. So far, I've had 2 fills. The first one was only 2 weeks ago (3 1/2 months after surgery) and he only put in 1 cc. I had my second fill of 1.6 cc today for a total of 6.2 in my 10cc band. Hopefully, I'm on my way to the green zone :) Reading everyone's posts here though, it looks like everyone is different and what works for one might not work for another. I log my food and even though I may be hungry, I don't over and I measure everything.

I just think I shouldn't feel this hungry I eat twice a day saled and a shake in the morning 1/2 cup of chicken or beef and romain or spinich tomatoe and cottage cheese or Italian dressing

You should be eating 3 meals a day.

3oz of solid Protein 1/4 veggies1/4 good carbs.

Previous poster is right, everything you're eating besides chicken & beef is slider food.

Dr & Nut said salad is a slider and not to eat it until you are in the green zone.

I would be starving too if I ate your menu! If I get hungry between meals I'll have a cup of herbal tea or SF hot chocolate. Takes the edge off.

the band wont stop you from filling hungry (nor will a fill)

it will help you eat less

if you are hungry, eat a Protein filled food.

Proteins will help you stay full longer (it does for me and i have no fills yet)

also, drink alot. it could be head hunger

but if you are hungry eat. just eat smart.

just my thoughts/opinions.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
