Well, I am at 13cc's. I do feel a little restriction now but it is still not as much as I had hoped. Next month I will get another cc. I am happy it does not feel like it is missing any more though. :lol:

You had 7.75cc's added?! That seems extreme. Are you sure you are not at a total of 7.75cc's so it would have been about a 2cc fill?

hi dan

im glad about this was a bit worried what would happen when i needed another fill

That's good to hear. :tt1: That means you still have plenty of room for 'adjustment'.

Dan,

I think I celebrated a little "too soon" about my sweet spot. I'm not going to give up because I can tell a difference. I'm still waiting for the point when I can only eat a cup of food and can't take another bite.

This whole journey varies so much but I know we will get there. At least I know someone else beside my husband and myself are experiencing this.

I would like to really know what people are eating. What are the types of food and the amount that is consumed? I know some people eat the hard Protein first and then veggies. Any suggestions anyone?

I am sorry that your restriction didn't stay in the 'sweet spot'. You should be pretty close next time though!

It makes me a little more at ease knowing I am not the only one at the high end of the adjustment too. I did ask again this time and they still won't tell me how much they can overfill them, but the nurse told me not to worry.

Hi guys.

Never been at the sweet spot and wonder if I ever will!! I'm doing well with the weight loss, but have 7cc in a 14 cc band and no restriction yet!!! Had 3 fills so far - have another 20th October! Praying this will be THE ONE!!!!!!!:)

I just got another fill today, which brings me to 11cc's now. The nurse did withdraw Fluid to make sure I was really at 10 and I was, then we added 1. Will see how I do in the next week or so.

Sooooooo glad I found this thread! Thought I was the only one out there fighting with the 14cc apl. I have 6.6cc now, most of the time I can eat what I want. HOWEVER, for the first time had a HUGE slimming episode the other day when I left myself get too hungry and tried to wolf down a potatoe wedge (didn´t do the Protein first ACK!). Won´t do that again for sure.

My bariatric coordinator has suggested a food Journal and that seems to be helping. Am scheduled Oct 9th for another fill. My Dr said he felt like I was getting close to my sweet spot. Hope that is true!

Wowee, I am tight. I am thinking that possibly, since we withdrew all the Fluid and then put it all back and added 1cc, maybe I need extra time to see if I am swollen.

I am going to give it about a week and if I am still this tight, I will probably get a slight unfill.

For the first time, I am feeling like I have heartburn whenever I eat, and I mean CONSTANTLY.

I am pretty sure I am beyond my sweet spot.

Sorry, I posted my answer in the poll not realizing it said 14cc.. Mine is a 10cc and I had perfect restriction at like 7 'esque'. So, you can delete my answer if there is a way.

I thought I was never going to get there, but I finally have perfect restriction at 9.5 cc in my 14cc band, FINALLY.

I now get full at about 1/2 cup, maybe 5-6 bites of food. I love it!

I've lost 6lbs since getting restriction last friday.

WAHOOO!! :confused:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
