I have 8cc in my 10cc band and I have found restriction to the point that I am not hungry within 2 hrs after a meal. I am curious as to how much ccs in my fellow Jan 08 bandsters and when and if you got to this point where you are not so hungry.

I have 3.5 cc in a 5 cc band (last fill little less than 1 month ago). I'm really happy with my level of restriction. When I eat solid protein it's usually at least 4 hours before I feel hungry again.

I have 2 ccs in my 10 cc band. I had my first fill back on Feb 29th. I used to have good restriction, but now have none during the day. I'm so glad that I'm getting my 2nd fill on July 11th.

I have 6.6 cc's in my 10 cc band......GREAT restriction!!!!

LOVE my band!!

I am at 7.8 in a 10cc band and I have awesome restriction. I'm never hungry and sometimes and I have sit and think about what I even ate for the day. I used to track my calories regiously on fitday but I am finding that I know longer need to do it. I will of course resume when I notice that my calorie intack is increasing but for now everything is perfect.

I got a fill on Wednesday and now at 6.6cc's in my 10cc band. Today I start mushy food, and its been tough so far. But I am not sick or feeling crummy yet today......

I just had a fill on Wednesday. I am now at 6.8 and feel i have good restriction...definetaly better than the last fill. I am hoping this fill will stay for awhile. this morning I am down 49.6 pounds so I know something is working.

Well I am too damn tight, and had a bad weekend. 5 out of 6 of my siblings and families, along with my parents, and one of my sisters inlaws got together for the weekend. 17 adults, 7 kids, and my mom cooking all weekend.

So, in a nutshell, Friday, one hamburger, 2 Slimfast. Saturday, 2 chicken cutlets, cottage cheese. Sunday, one slice of ham. Thats all I was able to keep down all weekend. Had a sugar free ice, and sugar free chocolate pudding here and there, and 4 slices of cheese all weekend.

Tried other things, but got down one or two bites. I PB'd Watermelon!!! Yep watermelon.

If it wasn't for the Propel that I could actually get down and my Vitamins, I would have come out of this weekend sicker than I feel.

So, I don't know what to do at this point. My mother didn't like my color this weekend. I still had energy, able to swim everyday and do my walks.

HI all. Congrats on everyone's weight loss. I am little discouraged. I have 6cc's in my band, my last fill was 6/26. My next appointment is not until late August. He says I am doing well, but I don't feel like it. I have started running since my third fill and ever since thenI have had very little restriction. The strange thing is the only time I feel full is whenI have had liquids for me to be able to tell. I am praying that the fill will "kick in" soon. I just have no idea when. So I guess I am still looking for the restriction and the getting hungry soon to go away. Right now I am on will power.

I am sitting at 6.2 cc in a 10 cc band and pretty happy with it. I resemble normal when eating with other people, meaning I can eat most things that are not 'doughy'. I just eat slow and dh gets to eat and I take care of the little ones in between bites. Works out well for me.

This is great to hear, I feel like there is something wrong with me with having 5.5 cc in a 10 cc band and have another appt on wednesday for my 5th fill. I have some restriction but not enough. I can eat a whole hamburger and don't think I should be able to...thank you for the comfort that i'm not crazy

I think I'm at 7cc in a 10cc band and I'm pretty happy with it right now.

Oh and Happy 6 Month Bandiversary for everyone!

Hi Everybody, thanks for the info. Isn't it amazing that we are coming up on our 6 month anniversary. I am much happier and healthier than I was 6 months ago. I cleaned out my closet last night and am not keeping my "fat clothes" around anymore. I don't intend to go back up.

I am at 5cc's in a 10cc band. I just had my last 1cc put in on Monday so I am still adjusting to the last fill. I can eat anything, and only feel a little discomfort when eating scrambled eggs or chicken.

I so hope this last fill will give me some restriction!

I am at 8.3 in a Realize band. I hit my sweet spot on the second fill and am just now starting to get a little hungrier two months later. I have a fill 3 scheduled on 7/29 but I am not sure if I'll need it yet. I guess we shall see.
