Restriction



Recommended Posts

I wouldn't worry about what other bandsters have in their bands. If 3cc is working for you, then that's all that matters. i have no Fluid in my band and I'm one of those lucky few who had restriction with no fills.

I finally got good restriction at 8.5 cc's so it's just different for everyone ... no 2 bands or 2 people are the same.

When I first had 3cc it felt good but that restriction dissipated by 6 weeks and had to go for more fills. I'm at 6 and feeling good and could probably use another 0.1-0..5cc Its highly individualized.

I have 2.5 cc and feel pretty good. I think I'm in the green zone. I'm only eating about a cup of food at time and that is keeping me full until my next meal.

I relate to "go walking " I have only had one small fill and averaging 4.5 pound loss a week and not hungry. Every time I go for follow up my dr. Says no fill needed. He actually says the amount of weight loss I have had in short period of time is more like what they see in G Bypass not lapband. So I'm very satisfied. Everyone is soooo different.

I've had 8 adjustments and have no idea how many cc's are in my band and I'm in the green zone!

Ask your Doctor how many cc's are in your band. He/She will definitely know. I have kept notes throughout my entire Lap Band journey on my iPhone and every time I get a fill I record my weight and how many cc's the doc put in or take and how I feel with that amount in my band (restriction wise). It's a good idea to record as much as possible when dealing with the Lap Band I have found.

I came outta surgery w/3cc's and around the 3rd week once the internal swelling and gas subsided i was able to eat jst abt anything.

I got my 1st fill 11days ago, bringing me to 4cc's, while I was once able to finish an entire can of pringles during a single television show #ultimatecouchpotato im not able to do this anymore.

Maybe as the days progress my appetite will return although i earnestly pray that it doesnt.

Im gonna try the no carb, 4oz meal, 3x a day the clinic reccomends in the meantime.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
