Hello all of you beautiful (and handsome) bandsters!

Question for those of you who have a 10cc band.

How many cc's did you have put in until you were at restriction...and not just a little restriction - but "wow - i now know what restriction really means" restriction?

I just had my 3rd fill and am at 6.5cc's on my 10cc band and do not yet feel like I'm in the "green". I know everyone is different but just looking to get some feedback from others.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Lisa.. this is random and WAY off subject.. but oh well lol!

I was reading your blog a few weeks ago and saw the pictures you took from your trip to Trader Joe's..omg! 2 words!! STUFFED SALMON!!! I saw the picture and instantly thought "I have to get it!" ok well not only did I buy that one but there is also a Stuffed Salmon Belle Mer!! OHHHHH my fave!!! I make that into two portions and its my dinner and lunch the next day! I have the dill one in the oven right now. I havent tried that one so wish me luck! and THANKS for sharing!!

Hi Destynee!!! No way - that's sooo fantastic! The dill one is AMAZING! It melts in your mouth like pure bliss. You will love it - ahhh - I want it right now! I'm heading back to TJ's this weekend and am going to stock up on them. I didn't see the Salmon Belle Mer but I'm going to look for it. :thumbup:

Ok good I have to admit I was a bit thrown off by the "dill" and I had my first fill today so I cant taste it. I actually made it for lunch 2moro. Oh you HAVE to try the otherone if you can find it.. Dont panic because it does have long grain rice in the stuffing but the amount is sooo small you cant even tell.. it also has Crab meat, bay shrimp and Montery Jack cheese. OHHH thats all I can say lol!!

add some zuccini slices diced tomato and onions around the salmon and drizzle with a little low sodium soy sauce.. all in the oven and YUMMM!! ok not the right forum for all this but....

I've only got 4cc in mine (2 fills) and I have a great restriction!

I have the 3 ccs put in at surgery and I think I'm at my sweet spot. I'm losing at a very good rate and I am definately restricted.

I get a little signal which is an uncomfortable feeling, then the hiccup and I'm done or else. I have yet to this day to feel any hunger.

I'm so easily satisfied that I would never eat more than five hundred calories a day, but I do make sure I generally get more than that.

I was banded March 5th.

I'm definitely going to try it and post about it in my blog. Crab meat...bay shrimp...cheeeeeseeeee!!!! Oooh my!

I have 3 ccs in a 10 cc band and have some restriction. I just get hungry about an hour before its time eat. I think one more fill and I might be there.

Ohio Girl - do you mind me asking what your starting weight was?

Dont mind you asking at all. My pre op weight was 234. The heaviest I had ever been in my life!!

We have really close stats - I was 230 (highest as well)!
