Hi i knoe exactly what school you went to. and thank u. i used to live in houston texas and it was hot and humod didnt like it. i love cali. lol i had surgery sept 19, 2013 and nov 11 had my first fill of 4cc but had no restriction i just got another fill this week and i got 2cc for a total of 6cc and still no restriction my weighloss is super slow im down 40 lbs since surgery and at my last appointment i found out i have a 14cc band of all the forums i read alot of people have a 10cc band. what size band do you have and how long did it take to get to ur sweet spot?

I'm in Austin, much nicer than Houston not so humid. Lived in Houston as a young child (moved to SoCal at 12).

I have a 10cc band. It took almost 8 months and several fills for me to get to the green zone, funny I was less than 20 pounds from goal by then. I currently have about 7cc in my band but you will find that the amount for the green zone will very from person to person.

You are in bandster hell, it sucks. Just focus on Protein first, 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food per meal, small bites, chewing till mush and eating slow. If you do need a snack make it a protein snack (cheese, greek yogurt, etc). You will see results.

Good luck to you.
