I have had 3 fills so far and my 14cc band has 4.5cc's in it right now. In between my second and third fills, I felt less hungry and more satisfied with 4 ounces and 4 ounces only. Now, after my third fill I am starving most of the time and 4 ounces just makes me angry.

I am still eating very healthy, except for the sundae I let myself indulge in today. However, I am training with a PT and exercising on my own, so hopefully that will help me continue to lose.

Oh well, let's hope that I can get in for a fourth fill next week and get even closer to the ever elusive sweet spot!

Be patient my little pad-won! (giggle). I know you are very ready to be there but you want to get there slowly. It's best that way. My sweet spot is 5.4cc's and at one point I was at 5.9cc's and needless to say I was in pain! You want to find it in small increments because an overfill hurts and you get stuck which is not fun! Everyone is different so when you reach yours, you will know it. It's still early enough in the game. Keep doing what you are doing because you are on the right track. Try more protein to keep you from getting hungry.

I guess that's where I'm at. I've had two fills and still feel like I can eat way to much. How do you know where that sweet spot is? Had surgery Sept. 16 and have lost 42 lbs.

I also have a 14cc band and I believe I'm in my sweet spot at 6.4cc. I probably can go a little higher, but I don't think it's necessary. I don't want to overfill causing me to eat "only" soft foods. I try to control my portions, plus trust me the band will tell you if it's over. so far, so good. I try to live by the motto "LOSE IT AS YOU WILL LIVE IT!"

Thank you all! I go for my 4th fill tomorrow. Hoping that will help. I know that this is a process - why would the weight come off overnight when it did not go on that way!
