Green Zone In 10 Cc Bands?

[Jen75 33]

I to have a 10 cc band with 7.5 cc fill so far and I can eat way more then I shoud be able to....I make good choices....but I wish a 1/4 would fill be....I can eat 2 cups of salad easily....but I know we will get there...so hang in !!!

My PA told me that if u was eating salad I could expect to eat 2 cups. This being because the lettuce and such chews to mush equaling about a cup of food.

I have 7.25 cc in my band. It's comfortable for me. I was at 7.5cc and I was bringing everything back up. I really can eat most anything I want but stress' date=' anxiety, time of month, alcohol consumption and so on make my band so fickle! Good luck!

Hello bandsters!! I have 5cc's in a 10cc band and feel no restriction. I was at the doctor on yesterday and told him i felt no restriction; however, since i lost 11lbs in a month in a half he wouldn't give me more.

I have a 10cc band. Only 1 time did I get over 5 cc, and then was back within 2 days having .5 taken out. I am very sensitive, and finding restriction was quick. On the other hand, my son, who also has a 10 cc band has 9cc and is finaly restricted, real good. I think that he is too tight but he doesn't want to ask the surgeon to back it off a little. So as someone else said, restriction is personal to your body! Best wishes, Karen

Finally finally i have found restriction at 8.5cc. This is awesome - now i know what everyone has been talking about when they said you will know it when you hit your sweet spot.

I had my 7th fill this week. 6.6cc in a 10cc band. Very little restriction. Sometimes I think I am almost there, but I can eat way too much. down 24lbs since 2/2/12. My stomach is growling as I type. I am not there yet...

I guess I'm really lucky! I have 3.25 cc's in a 10 cc band. I have to eat soft foods very slowly. I might even be a little to tight, but I'm not going to tell on myself! I can get liquids and soft foods just fine. Tightest in the morning. I'm in my "green zone" now. Can't eat a lot of things now, but that's good for me. Can't do breads at all, very little Pasta, and no rice. Since those are my weaknesses, this is a great thing for me! But I do miss being able to eat as I used to. But that's what got me to being so fat in the first place. My tool is really helping!

I think pretty restricted I'm 7.5 in a 10cc band... I can only eat a small portion if I eat more

My back will have all types of shooting pains.

For those who "think" they have restriction believe me when you finally hit that green zone you will "know' you have restriction. I kept thinking "this is it" everytime i had a fill and then just kept on eating almost the same way. When i had my last fill and finally really did have restriction i knew it - there was absolutely no doubt about it. Keep getting your fills and you will absolutely have no doubt when it happens. It took me a long time and am soo glad it has finally happened.

I had my third fill and no matter what I eat it seems to get suck . Should I get the last fill removed ? Any suggestions

I am so glad to see this post. I have a 10cc band and I am at 6cc's. I have an appointment tomorrow and am wondering what the criteria is for getting a fill. I've had good restriction, but, I don't know if I'm in the green zone or not. I am losing close to 2lbs. a week. I feel really good. I have learned to slow down, chew more and stay away from foods that get stuck.

I guess everyone is different, right? Wish me luck tomorrow:)
