How much did it take before you reached maximum restriction? My bariatric surgeon said most people with 10 cc bands hit the sweet spot around 5.75 cc's.

That said I had none at all at 5.5 cc's so he went up to 6 cc's on me yesterday. He thinks I really shouldn't need more for several months.

Thoughts? Have most of you hit your sweet spot before 6?

I got my 1st fill today and they have me at 4cc's in a 10cc band. Right now i'm hungry and i'm eating semi-solids just so my hunger can go away.

I think i'm going to be one of those people that need to be 80% restricted so i won't feel hungry.

I got my first fill on 12/15 and am hungry. I ate my half cup and found myself satiated. Two hours later, I am getting hungry. Although, I can feel restriction when I drink. I've decided to follow the book precisely and see how it goes. I can live with a little hunger, I just would prefer to be satisfied for longer after a meal. It is a journey, one I am happy to take.

I thought it was just me. I got my 1st fill today and it seems i'm more starving than anything. I know i'm supposed to have mostly liquids, but i had some Soup earlier (corn chowder w/small potatoes) because i needed something with more substance.

Seems like i'm more hungrier post fill vs pre fill?

Aint that just like my life!
