I heard 8cc is a good number on a 14cc band, can't wait for the next fill which will put me at 8cc - 8.5cc depending on what the doc decides to put in. I am back to the starving feelings and I hate it.

That's great! I had my 3rd fill this previous Wednesday. I have 6.5 cc in a 14cc band. I feel absolutely no restriction at all. Looking forward to my next fill on May 8th, hoping that one will do the trick.

Sorry it took so long to reply, I was on a mini vacation. Yes 8.4cc is VERRRRRRRRYYYYYY restricting. I have to drink slow. Before now, I use to be able to drink at least 4-5 16.9 oz bottles of Water a day. Now Im down to 3 bottles because of how slow i drink . The water will quickly fill you up if youre not paying attention. But YES you must chew very very well. I learned in the beginning when I was chewing some pineapples and i had to hold my arms up for at least 15 minutes before it started to slide down. WHILE JUMPING. LOL but im a pro now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
