well i believe it's when you have the perfect fill amount in your band. you have just enough so you are loosing weight while also not having any problems with the band being to tight.

I think i've finally found my sweet spot after my fill last week, I went from 7cc's to 7.5cc's in a 10cc band. Before my fill I could eat almost a cup of food and was hungry a few times throughout the day. Now, I eat about 4 bites of food and i'm very very full and now it seems as I forget to eat because I dont get hungry near as much, when I eat it last me a good 4-5 hours. I did add another Protein Shake to my diet since I can't eat as much as before, I want to make sure I get my Protein in. I don't ever get stuck, PB, vomit or anything and I just take it really slow. You'll know when your there, I didn't know what it was either until it hit me :thumbup:

What the 'Sweet Spot' means for me is like the last person said.. when you get to that fill point where you can take a few bites and your done. I'm talking about having your dinner on your place and taking a few bites and you are so done... even though you may want to eat it all but just can't. When i realized after my last fill in Feb. that i was at my sweet spot i was actually shocked i thought i would never get there. I think i am at about 8 or so I asked my Dr. and he said that it dosent matter how many cc's it takes to get there as long as you get there... I would definately suggest to keep up with your apts. get weighed in and get the fills. Trust me you will be able to tell when you are at that right spot....

I think Im close to mine banded mid Dec, 2 fills since, 6cc in 10cc band, last week about lunch when I was out and about had a craving for fast food which I havnt had since Dec. Ended up at Carls!! got a burger no fries etc and ate about 1/4 of it, about 4-5 bites. That was it all I could eat or want to eat. You really know when you get to that point. Ive lost about 25 lbs since mid Dec, started at 200lbs now close to 175.

Amonroy...you are 100% right! You don't really know you've hit your sweet spot until you get there! I've been sneaking up on my sweet spot for months! I'm currently at 6cc in a 10cc band. I'm heading into for another fill tomorrow. I think I'm close but I can still eat almost an entire sandwich and I do get hungry in the afternoon and then before dinner. Sometimes I actually forget I have the band and that's not a good thing. I've been easily slipping back into old habits. I hope I'm as lucky as you and find that sweet spot soon!

I have been eating popcorn without any problem. I was banded on 2-9 and my first fill is 4-13. I can eat a whole sandwich now so I hope my fill will cut down the amount I can eat. Of course before the band I would have been able to eat 3 sandwiches!

Have you been able to find any protein supplements that don't taste like sewage? I know I need more protein but it makes me gag.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
