Question about sweet spot in 10 cc band



Recommended Posts

I know that everyone is different, but I am just trying to get an idea of what the average number of cc's that people who are at their sweet spot have in a 10 cc band So far I have 3 cc's which isn't much and like everyone else I am anxious to get to my sweet spot. Thanks for any input!

I am at 6.1 and most days I feel like I am there---others (like the last couple) I feel like I can eat a horse. Of course while I'm "on" I can hardly eat anything... So--is it my sweet spot? I think so, for now. It will change after losing weight though... I go next Friday -- I'll see what I'm eating next week, and how much I lose at my next visit. I have had a fill every month since January (small fills), and really just started losing well the last 3 months.

Good luck!

I was at 3.75 cc's and I was too tight and vomitting after every meal. I am down to 3cc's now and feel much better. I think for now this is my sweet spot.

I have 6.5 in an 11 band...I am still stuck, not losing...I have another fill in 1.5 weeks...hope that charges my loss again. I have not faltered in my intake...no fast foods, no junk, etc...being good, but not seeing results these days....was banded March 12, 09 and have dropped 46, but that was all prior to first fill...got any ideas?

I am at 3 cc's. in a 10 cc band. I can eat anything and am hungry. I was over filled at 4.5 cc's so I think 3.5 to 4 cc's should do it for me. I was completely not hungry at 4.5 cc's but I could not get Water down. I have an appointment on Tuesday 6/2 so I hope we find the spot then.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
