How much fill do you have in your 10 cc band?



Recommended Posts

Guess I didn't think about it like that....you're right. I should be happy that I've been able to lose weight with such little restriction.

I just had my 5th fill and I feel like I'm finally in the game. Sometimes I am full after just 3-4 bites and when I'm really hungry (aka just wanna eat) I can eat maximum 1 cup but usually cannot finish a single serving type item. If I keep busy, I forget to mosh all night long like I use to. Hang in there!

I've had a total of 6 fills (and 2 slight unfills) and am at 5.9 cc. I really like my level of restriction that I have right now - I was at 6.0 cc for 2 months and finally decided that it was just too much. I now can eat food without worrying about it coming back up, but I still have good restriction that makes me feel full quickly.

Hi, hvnagdtme

ON 04/21/08 my band was filled with 6cc (one slight unfill to check for

leaks). For the first few months, I feel good restriction, not asmuch now. But I'm staying put for now,I'm still stuck at 220lbs (from 260lbs) an not going anywhere. Bug57

Am eating much less now. Definitely not just one cup of anything!

This is my fourth fill (6cctotal). I know I haven't found the r/spot

yet, but am staying put. The minute I feel no restriction I'm running

to get a fill. Bug57

i have a 10cc band and i was banded on oct. 22nd, 2007. my last fill was on march 25th and i have my band filled to 9.4cc's i do have restriction but i have been eating a lot more than what i am supposed to and i have been cheating which is stupid of me. i just don't really have support like i used to have anymore and its all in my head with the hunger. i was doing great till the end of march hit, i lost some1 that was very close to me, my sis in law, my ( my bro's wife) and she had gotten gastric bypass in nov. 2007 and they really dont know why she passed away. we had an autopsy done on her but all they found was that her intestines were twisted and they said that i could have been from getting her tubes tied or from the gastric bypass. we were dieting together and i had all that support from her but like my sis and my bro all they do is make fun of me cuz i have a band around my stomach and it just puts me down. but i have to get back on track.

Things are going well, Bugs57- Thanks for asking. I feel good. This morning I was able to squeeze into a size 12 jeans and I am super excited! I haven't been in a 12 in about 15 years! Yea for me! My weight loss is slow, but I see the inches coming down.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
