Mine put in 3 cc in a 10 cc band one month later put in 2cc. I was in the green zone with that much...However it all came with time and patience to get the point of eating small bites..eating slowly and almost a 1/4 of what I was used to. Make sure to get all your Protein everyday..I haven't been eating all my protein and I'm losing hair. I am now 16 months post op...lost 60 lbs. Good luck

I went in to 2-3 cc increments and liquids for 2-3 days. Slower eating clearly is ideal, yet was deprived of the Protein, still needed more. Actually, my wife (lap band also) was having he hair issue sadly (it happens), but we got our Vitamins and supplements in order with a protein shake(sip: may not drink all of it) , between meals . Big difference , welcome to message me for any other info : anything to help

I got 2cc but had .5 taken out before I left office. Then 1 and then .5. I'm 4 months out and missed one month of fills due to weather.

      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! 😞
