So i have a 3cc in my 4cc band and I can eat a very small breakfast but come lunch or dinner I can eat much more. Also I notice that I can from time to time get stuck on certain foods like dry chicken or lettuce but as soon as it goes down I am hungry again. So do I need another fill? Is this normal? Has this happend to you and if so what did you do about it? Dinnertime has always been my weakness so I think I would have to tight during the evening for this to work for me.

I don't know what to do I am at 2.8cc in a 4cc band and as I eat slowly and chew very well I can still eat almost as much as before the band! I have not lost 1 pound! Do I need to go tighter still? For those of you with a 4cc band do you think I will feel restriction if I go a bit tighter or is this just not working for me? Please help!

Hi I am looking to make friends to chat with and lean on for support in this lapband process. My yahoo messenger user name is lapbandfriend. Feel free to add me! :thumbup:

I was just wondering what was your sweet spot with a 4cc band? I know everyone is different but I was just looking to see what amount did it for you and also how many times did you have to get a fill/unfill before you were able to find that sweet spot. Thanks! :thumbup:

I know we are not suppose to eat bread or starchy things and most don't do too well with meats either so now I am wondering what would be something we can eat. I am looking for a typical meal that would be lap band friendly and also how big should that meal be ideally? Thanks in advance! :thumbup:

I don't get it I could not even drink drinkable yogurt with a 2.75cc in my 4cc band so I asked for a slight unfill and got 2.7 now I feel if I eat slowly and chew good I can still very easily finish a McDonalds cheeseburger and maybe just a little bit more. I asked the fill nurse if she could put a little more in but she said if she did it would just get me back to where i was before when I couldn't hold food or drinkable yogurt down. So now I am wondering what should I do? Should I try for something like 2.72cc? The nurse said that she didn't think it would make a difference but the difference was huge with 2.75 and 2.7 so maybe my sweet spot in right somewhere in between? I just got this new fill today and I think I can still eat a good portion more than I think necessary. So what do you guys think? I am starting to feel like I may never find my sweetspot.
