After surgery, my band had .6 cc left in it from when the doctor tested it for leaks. My first fill was initially 4 ccs but they had to take 1cc out because I couldn't even swallow spit. I had some restriction -- not all the way to my "sweet spot" but yes, some restriction. Went on a cruise the next week and I didn't gain any weight on the cruise so that says something for the amount of restriction I had because, let's face it, there is food available 24/7 on a cruise, it's all included in the cost of your ticket and it's in your face all the time. I just got my second fill, just .5 cc but I definately feel the difference. One thing that may help too is to not drink Protein shakes; eat real food that you have to chew. It takes longer to digest so it keeps you full longer. I was also told that if I went longer than 4 hours between meals to eat a small snack, like a piece of string cheese and a couple of whole grain crackers. I was starving to death all the time by the time I got my first fill and I was desperate to have some restriction, so I know just how you're feeling! Hang in there!
