So... IF you have a sweet spot



Recommended Posts

where is it?

I have a 10cc band with a 1.5cc fill right now... My doctor fills SOOO slowly! LOL I wanna get to a good place in my first year (I have until August) because it will be $250 per fill after that point.

Just curious where seems "comfy" for most of you!

Everyone is different in what they find to be their sweet spot. I am somewhere around 6-6.5cc in a 10cc band. Others may be great at 5 or 8. There is no formula for what makes a sweet spot sweet. It depends on your anatomy.

Ever person is different. I have a 11 cc band and did not get any restriction until 9.6 cc's. Maybe at my sweet spot at 10.6. My fills went something like this 4,2,1,1,1.6,.4,.6. Some people do get restriciton at 5-6. There are however several of us on this board who did not get restriction until the band was almost filled. I'm not telling you this to be discouraging. I just want you to know so that you don't feel like the process is'nt working if it takes a long time for restriction.

Way too many variables to be able to accurately respond to this question. By August it is likely you will come to know what ~your own~sweet spot is. cheers on your journey

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
