I am so ready to get to my "sweet spot"! I hear once you're here you really start to feel the restriction and lose the weight. Is this true?

I have 9cc's (or is it 8cc's?! I can't remember! eek) in a 14cc band so far. I feel the restriction SOMETIMES if I eat too quickly or take too big of a bite. I'm eager to get to that point where I really feel it... :tongue2:

When did you find your Sweet Spot? How long after your surgery?

I'm still working on hitting my sweet spot. I'm having a fill tommorow, hopefully it will do the trick. Good luck to you!

YOu will definitely know when you have it. I was lucky and got to mine on my second fill (5 cc) in a 10 cc band. I am still working on learning to eat very slow and take tiny bites. I was on a role loosing but have slowed down. I am wondering if it was because I was not eating enough calories. This weekend included quite a bit more calories, but I am too scared to get on the scale, so I will wait until Friday to see if I maintained, gained, or lost...

Good Luck!

I was banded this past February and I go for my third fill Thursday. I have lost 34 pounds. I have had some restriction, but weight loss is less than 2 pounds a week on average. I am hoping that this next fill is it for me...I am thinking it may be the sweet spot. If I can maintain a 2 pound weekly loss, I'll be thrilled.

wow! Great job JulsJourney. I'm hoping for 2 pounds a week. My weight loss has slowed down a bit, but I just signed up for the gym again, so hopefully that'll bump it up some!

      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.
