how many cc's for restriction 14cc

[barbie1978 22]

last week i went for another fill and he gave me a big one...from 8.5 to 9.5 and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! NOW i feel what i've read about on here...i can only eat very very small amounts of food...most Pasta and bread is a NO NO..anything starchy really. I stay away from crap food but the one time that i had it (with a bus full of people and we only stopped at McD's) i coudln't even eat all of my small fries..i used to eat a large fry and then more of whoever else didn't finish! YAY! I'm SO excited to have such good restriction! Plus i'm down 6 from last wednesday :thumbup:

Be patient! Do what your body says..mine said it could handle more and i got it..and now my band is really REALLY working!! :thumbup:

I just got a fill in my 14 cc band I am now at 8 cc and don't have good restriction. Starting to get a little disappointed. Could still probably eat 2 cups of food if I let myself. Lost 9 lbs since my last 3 week visit but also burning 400 calories a day 4 days a week via working out. Seems I am working harder than my band

Okay so today tried to eat some chicken breast and got stuck and pb'd big time. Guess I will stay here for a bit. It's odd seem to feel tighter today 3 days after my fill

With 7.5 cc's in my 14 cc band I had the best restriction I had ever felt. Because of some issues the dr. emptied me. He removed 6 cc's. (Told me that you can't get all the liquid out) So according to him I still had 1.5 cc's. One month later and 5 pounds heavier I had a fill of 5cc's. No restriction and able to eat bread. Now another month later and 2 pounds heavier I received another fill 1cc. So according to the dr. I should be back at 7.5cc's. I do not feel restriction. I don't know what to do and don't seem to be getting anywhere with my dr. Why me???????????

Hey any update with your doctor?

Went back to the dr. last Thursday. Gained a pound. Had 1 cc added so I should have 8.5 cc's now. If I don't have any progress in the next month they will do the next fill under floroscopy (sp) I feel a tiny bit restricted but not much. When you see the posts from others where the weight if falling off it discourages me alot, then I get depressed and want to eat and eat. Not good.

Don't feel bad I have 9.8 cc in my band and I am Finally getting some good restriction. I actually PB' for the first time with some Chinese food. I am getting another fill next week. I think a my sweet spot with will be at 10.2 cc.

At times I feel restricted and other times I can eat anything. I have had a few episodes of slimming and vomiting.(So I'm thinking yeah restriction) This whole thing confuses me and not a pound lost yet:cursing:

Vikki99 so glad to hear you are at your sweet spot:thumbup: Way to go!

I have not lost a single pound. Will go in next week for another fill this time under floro. I hope this works.

I have 9 cc and am not sure if I am too tight or perfect.

I can understand, how you feel. Do you write down what you eat? That is the only way I can tell, if I need another fill or not. I also take my food journal to my fill doctor to double check.

It's not what I eat but if I can eat. :ohmy:

I can't touch solids in the morning but can drink a Protein Shake with no problem.

I can eat about a quarter cup at noon and then a half cup at dinner.< /p>

I think I like it.

Well Friday I had a fill under floro....they gave me 2cc so I am at a total of 10 or 10.5. Man can I tell the difference. I have to really slow down and take very small bites. I feel full really quick and the fullness lasts for a long time. I am seeing the light at the end of this long struggle. :confused:
