I just had my third fill four days ago. I'm only able to eat like 2 oz now. Is this normal? My last two fills still let me eat like 4-5 oz and even more than that in a few days. I'm loosing weight at a pound a day rate since my last fill which is very nice, but I hate to loose too fast...
Thanks for your help with this!

I was banded 3 years ago. How large is your band? How many cc's do you have in it now? I have 7.5 cc's in my band now and it can hold up to 12 cc's.

If you're feeling good and you're not having any problems then 2 oz. is good. If you're worried about loosing too fast, put a call into your surgeon or nutritionist and see what they say.

I think you're fine and it seems like you're doing great! Good luck.

Thanks Lana,
I have a 10 cc band and I'm not 100% positive but i think I have around 4 ccs in it right now. Thanks for your input, maybe I'll wait and see how the rapid weight loss does. It's really nice but I know it's not healthy at that rate for very long. I am feeling really good, I just have a hard time only eating 2 ounces, I've overdone it a few times already this week.

Is it hard to eat 2 oz because you get full or because it hurts? If you get full then its doing its job. If it hurts then you need to pay attention to see why. Plus its only been a few days so your pouch is getting used to the fill. I think you're doing great!
