For those at "Sweet Spot"



Recommended Posts

What was the difference in restriction and not restriction? In other words, I am at 5cc's and I know I am close because at 6cc's I was WAY too tight. I wondering if even .2, .5 cc's can make a big difference because I'm really not feeling it too much now. Thanks!

Absolutely, if it's the RIGHT .5cc!

At the start of the year I went from 2.5cc to 3cc. At 2.5 I was fairly wide open, but at 3cc I closed off completely and could not even get my own saliva to pass - had to go for an immediate unfill. I was taken down to 2, wide open. Back to 2.5, wide open. But I was afraid to go to 3. So I split the different and went to 2.75. I've stayed there ever since and think I'm as much at a sweet spot as I'll be able to get.

So yeah, in my case a half a cc made the difference between open & emergency unfill. And .25cc made the difference between open & sweet spot.

I know peopel personally who have gone from open to too tight in as little as 0.1cc.

Also, as you lose, that restriction is going to ease up as the fat pad diminishes around your stomach. I am EXACTLY at my sweet spot now, but I've also lost about 3-4 pounds since that fill and I don't anticipate it will last more than a month, since I am actively losing.
