14cc band - what is your sweet spot?

It seems like alot of people have 10cc bands. I'm curious about those that have the 14 cc band as to what your sweet spot is.

I "think" i am at 9 cc's. I haven't had a fill since June so I can't quite remember...it may be 10 but i'm pretty sure it's 9.

I have an appt to get a fill on jan 19th but I think I will cancel. There are days where I feel like i could eat a house and then a couple of days later it goes back to normal and i'm thank god i didn't get a fill!

I have a 14cc also. I only have 4.5cc's in. I am due for a fill on the 20th of January. I hope I can get a little more restriction. I think I ate a house for the holidays.... but I walked it off.

My doctor starts off our first fill with 4 cc's - I just had my first one last Tuesday but I feel like I had more restriction before the fill.

I can't remember for sure but I think I have 7 cc in right now. My last fill was in October and I have felt like I was at my sweet spot. I have consistently lost since my fill and have cancelled 2 fill appointments. The last few days however I have been feeling quite a bit less restriction. Hopefully the next sweet spot will be just as easy to find.

It's weird because I am eating every 2 hours - my meals are small because I do have some restriction but I'm always ready for a snack with-in 2 hours like clockwork. I also have been able to eat anything - all foods are going down (I just take it slow & easy). That is what I want though - just to eat smaller portions.

I have a 14 cc band and have it filled to 7 cc's. This was after my 4th fill and I have significant restriction, but I still can eat a lot of food. So on my next fill I hope to add just .5 cc's and that should do the trick. Keep in mind that everyone's body is different.

I have 5 ccs in a 14 cc band. I'm going Thursday for a fill. I can eat a lot! And while I maintained over the holiday, my goal is to lose weight. Today at lunch (I was hungry and in a hurry - bad combo) I really PB'd bad, slimed and threw up on chicken breast (I know, TMI). But that happens rarely with me. I have to learn to eat much slower and chew more.

So far - eating slower for me is the key! I found a WW Calzone in my freezer the other day - I decided that if I'm gonna eat it - I should do it before I get more fills. I just took it slow and had no problems.
