Hello,

I just had my third fill yesterday and now have 3.7 cc's in my 10cc band.

I have awesome restriction. I'm still going liquids today and plan on trying yogurt for dinner.

I'm curious about how many cc's everyone has, what fill they are on and if they are now losing faster since finding the 'Sweet Spot'?

I'm really hoping that I have my restriction now. My Doctor said he was a bit more aggressive tis time giving me 1.5 cc's. He told me not to eat bread or meat for a while after returning to real food after going through the stages again. And that if I have problems keeping anything down to go back to liquids and then onto the other stages until I can tolerate regular food.

Thank you all for your help. You all are doing so well...I have felt like I'm been stuck in limbo....I go back in 4 weeks... I'm hoping for a HUGE LOSS at that time.:smile:

I had my band done on May 23rd and I haven't had my first fill yet and I am NOT losing weight!!! I get my first fill on july 9th and for 2 weeks now I haven't lost any weight at all. Of course I don't feel restricted so I can eat more than I should but I don't. DOes anyone else have this problem? When i get my first fill will I notice it?:smile:

Seems to take 3-4 fills to get good restriction, sometimes more. Just keep eating the way they tell you and you'll lose weight. At least until you hit the dreaded plateaus.

Congrats on getting restriction finally!!

I have 4.25 cc in my 10 cc band and I have very good restriction, definitely at my sweet spot. It has been a few days more than 6 weeks since my fill and I have lost 22 pounds which includes a week of vacation and indulgences.

Hope this one has gotten you to that sweet spot!!

I have 6 ccs in my 10 cc band. I have good restriction and have to remember to chew my food very well. I had to have port replaced...long story...and was able to eat anything and with bigger bites...I am now back at the beginning stage of remember to take a pea size bite and chew chew and chew. This week so far I have lost 4 pounds. I am just glad to get back to the losing side again.

ps....oops time to change my ticker to 248

3 fills before results?? omg...I was excited thinking it was gonna help on the first fill. lol thanks emma

OMG Melanie...22 pounds...that's awesome...How many calories a day are you eating right now? I barely finished a yogurt last night.

3 fills and a 10cc band, I have 3.2cc.

It's been working well! Thank goodness because I'd been dealing with some hunger between meals and felt like I could eat too much. Since though my meals are small and I haven't felt hungry since!

I have had 2 fills. I have 5cc's in a 10cc band. I'm not sure I'm at my sweet spot yet, but I'm darn close. I didn't feel restriction with the first fill, but I felt it immediately with the 2nd one. They put in 2cc's when I had surgery, I got 2cc's on my first fill, and 1cc on this last one.

I have 5cc in a 10cc band. I had 5.5cc but was too tight and had to have 0.5cc removed. I'm hoping I continue to do well. 58.5 lbs lost since 2/7/08 banding. woohoo
