Hi Im Fran and was banded Nov 08. Seems to be working pretty good so far. I feel stupid asking this question, but Ive asked he PA who does my fills and I still didnt get it. She says I should be able to eat about 4 oz of food, and Im not sure if that is 4 oz's like on a scale or 4 oz like in 1/4 a cup. I guess i get myself confused because for instance 4 oz's weighed on a scale, say of popcorn is alot more then if its 1/4 of a cup. Ive lost 42lbs since being banded, but seem to be at a stand still now. I go back Nov 10 for a checkup and another fill. But im trying to see if I need a fill or if Im at that sweet spot. Any advise would be really helpful

I think its more like 1/2 cup

Yes, 4 oz, like a half cup. It's 4 oz of VOLUME, not 4 oz of WEIGHT.... and kinda scary that you're PA was confused and couldn't explain it! :thumbup: Best of luck! I cant wait to be banded in 5 weeks!

I believe it's 4 oz. of weight.
