Sweet Spot

I just have to let the whole world know that I am in my Sweet Spot!! I am so excited and I only had to get two fills to get there. I hope that it last for awhile at my first appointment for a fill they told me the Dr had left 4cc in at surgery so she only added 2cc =6cc so I thought I was going to be good there but I still could eat waaay to much then so I called and my another appointment for a week later and I was down 2.6lbs (but I was starving that week) so she gave me .5cc for a total of 6.5cc. So far that seems to be the magic number. I was worried because sometimes you read on here how people have to go back sometimes 4times to get there. The only real problem I have now is I have to remember to CHEW MY FOOD BETTER! I think I've chewed enough and WRONG:scared2: GOLF BALL IN CHEST! I guess it is just a learning curve. Hoping that everyone is in their sweet spot zone and have a great day.

I think I am very close these days. I now have a total of 6.5. SinceI was 6.0 I get the FULL feeling moreso than stuff being hung in my throat. I lost 4 lbs this past month(WhenI got the 1cc), so he only gave me .5 cc yesterday(6th fill), still on liquids/shakes (2days) then mushy for 2 days. It usually take about 6-7 days for the restriction or the full feeling to set in.I can go about 6-7 hours some days without getting hungry. Slow is good on the restriction. I have had some fills that were really restricting. only little sips of warm water in the morning. That is tough when you are on that tradmill at 5 am. You really have a different feeling when you are getting close to that sweet spot I do believe. How wonderful it is. Down 61 lbs, 15-20 to go.

Interesting, glad to hear you are feeling good but some restriction as well. I had 5.5cc in after surgery, then 6.5 after first fill but still hungry between meals. Had second fill today and am up to 7.0cc. I hope this will be better as the in between hungers are a bit distracting to say the least. I did not know it takes a week to feel the restriction set in, who told you that or is it from personal experience? Thanks and good luck.
