How many cc do you have in your band and loosing weight? Just wanting to know when others got to there sweet spot

[DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703]

I have 5.2cc in my 10cc band.

However, I started losing weight when my band was still empty.

Just remember, your sweet spot will control your hunger significantly but it won't suddenly make you lose weight. It just makes it a lot easier to lose weight because you're not hungry and satisfied on very little food.

Do you find yourself hungry too soon? Could you need a fill?

Just the fact you realize you've gotten off track and want to get back on is a huge victory.

What exactly are you struggling with?

I'm not real sure if that makes sense it's not that I over eat well sometimes but I find myself eating anything i want and not always healthy :/ well I sti can't eat breads

The first thing I'd do is make an appointment with your doctor. Not that anything is wrong but just to check in with him. Let him help you get back on track- that's his job.

The next thing I'd do is clean all the unhealthy food out of your house. Stock up on healthy foods so when you're feeling the need to eat it's a good choice for your body. If the temptation isn't there it's a heck of a lot easier to resist.

I honestly just eat "normal" food, just smaller portions. When I can, I turn family favorites into healthier versions. For instance, I still eat spaghetti but now I use light sauce and add seasoning so it doesn't taste "light". I also use lean ground beef and whole grain Pasta.

What if you made some meals in bulk? For instance, there is a really good Enchilada Soup that I love. I'll make a big crock pot of it then put it in tupperware containers in the fridge. I measure a cup of Soup into each container so when I want some soup, all I have to do is grab one and reheat it. If you did similar with meals you enjoy, then you'd have it quick and easy when you want it.

I'm at 6.75 and I feel like this is a real sweet spot. Hopefully that will continue for me. It's funny how we get to know our bands, I had an appt last week and I said I was thinking I need about .75cc and the Doc had already prepped that amount to give me after our dicussion.
