I am so ready to get to my "sweet spot"! I hear once you're here you really start to feel the restriction and lose the weight. Is this true?

I have 9cc's (or is it 8cc's?! I can't remember! eek) in a 14cc band so far. I feel the restriction SOMETIMES if I eat too quickly or take too big of a bite. I'm eager to get to that point where I really feel it... :tongue2:

When did you find your Sweet Spot? How long after your surgery?

I'm still working on hitting my sweet spot. I'm having a fill tommorow, hopefully it will do the trick. Good luck to you!

YOu will definitely know when you have it. I was lucky and got to mine on my second fill (5 cc) in a 10 cc band. I am still working on learning to eat very slow and take tiny bites. I was on a role loosing but have slowed down. I am wondering if it was because I was not eating enough calories. This weekend included quite a bit more calories, but I am too scared to get on the scale, so I will wait until Friday to see if I maintained, gained, or lost...

Good Luck!

I was banded this past February and I go for my third fill Thursday. I have lost 34 pounds. I have had some restriction, but weight loss is less than 2 pounds a week on average. I am hoping that this next fill is it for me...I am thinking it may be the sweet spot. If I can maintain a 2 pound weekly loss, I'll be thrilled.

wow! Great job JulsJourney. I'm hoping for 2 pounds a week. My weight loss has slowed down a bit, but I just signed up for the gym again, so hopefully that'll bump it up some!
