6 weeks in and no REAL loss and FINALLY Restriction at 6.5 !!!

The best way that I can describe it is, its like swallowing an ice cube, whole, really fast, while its still solid..

Even if i have chewed a thousand times i can still feel it going down my throat and down into my chest.

It definitely scared me I'd never felt this before now and i think I like it especially if it means eating less and losing weight.

Maybe NOW i can do the no carb diet my office has been suggesting.

My friends and coworkers have all cancelled their lap band consultations bcuz everything id lose after a fill id regain the same before the next fill.

Hopefully my new found restriction will have them reschedule their appts!

Yay Me!!!

I have 6.5cc in my 10cc band as well! I was banded in Feb. I am down 74lbs. Restriction is good...I tried 7.0 cc...then 6.75cc...I was too tight...Ive never had a pb or throw up episode since being banded...congrats on your restriction!

How soon after ur surgery date did u get to 6.5?

Do u work out? I see ur wearing my waist belt!

Do u follow the no carb high Protein diet?

Spoke too soon!

My old hunger and horrible eating have both resurfaced!

6.5 is NOT my magic number. oh when will this end?

Have i really wasted my money?

Why cant they just fill me to 8 and get this over with???

Ugggghhhh!

Hi there, I have 9•5 in a 14 cc band. For the past 5 weeks since my last fill I thought green this is it away we go..yay.. However my appetite and portion sizes have really increased again and my weight loss has stopped. I work out 2 hours a day and count calories on mfp.. I really want this right before xmas. I've lost good weight til now 86llb. But I want to start shifting the next 100..

I just want off this diet roller coaster.

When Lap Band was 1st introduced people were coming out of surgery with great restriction. Weightloss started at day 1 post op.

I feel like im wasting time getting 1cc here and there every month.

Yes id like my green zone before Thanksgiving I have a new years resolution goal weight in mind id like to hit

Its a catch 22. Situation for me. I paid for my op I wasnt eligable for it another way. Fat enough yes by far but aside from mobility difficulties and aches no health problems at all.. I've founds this extremely hard at times.. Straight after surgery I was terrified to eat anything so the weight fell off. However as I grew more confident I ate more and got hungrier. I asked for big fills. I've had 3 to get me to 9/5 cc. I know its a matter of trial and error but im finding making right choices when I'm hungry as a bear really hard. Nothing has got stuck thankfully but I can still really eat. I just don't want this to be it. The best I can do..I understand your frustration. Xmas will be a nightmare for me if my appetite isn't in check...

Well, im at 7.5cc's today.

I feel the restriction but i also felt it the day i was filled to 6.5

Just hoping it lasts.

Ive completely stopped my adderall a month ago and have gained 7lbs.

Im getting desperate and frustrated.

I wish i cld find a filler on the black market who can fill this thing on my terms...

Our terms aren't exactly the safest. Follow the lead of your surgeon. You'll be happy you did. I recently posted about MY experience last week. It wasn't pretty.

At 8cc in a 10cc band as of today

The restriction at 7.5cc only lasted about 4-5 days after the fill

Praying this 8cc restriction stays around long enough to see a real loss.

If not, ill be wiring my mouth shut by Christmas.

Keep us in the loop and let us know if this restriction level works for you. I'm at 6cc in a 10cc band right now. I have some restriction but I can and sometimes do eat more then I should be.

I was worried about another fill but reading all these posts has put my worry on hold. It's going to take a tweak for me I'm sure at least one more.
