At what CC do you feel full?

Thread Starter  

I know it varies for everyone, but I was wondering at what CC do you feel full on a half a cup of food?
I went for my fourth fill yesterday and my doc looks at me weird when I say I am not full after a 1/2 cup.
Right now my band is at 2.5 CC's.

Kim - I am at 2cc and still can't just eat 1/2 cup of food. I really don't have a lot of restriction yet either. Did your fill yesterday feel different for you?

I do not follow the 1/2 a cup of food theory..never have and never will..

It has not affected me in any way
But my band is at 2.5 cc's and this is a good level for me

i have 3.0 cc and have never been restricted to where a 1/2 cup was it for me.

well when i was to had to get an unfill i was super tight but it only lasted a few days cause i went straight to the dr! and that wasnt something i was trying for.

when i have what i consider perfect restriction for me, i eat about 3/4 cup to a cup of food in a sitting. at 3.0 i am not quite there...

I noticed that when I was drinking my protein drink this morning it took me A LOT longer to drink the whole thing. I know the band is tighter in the morning so other than that until I eat solid food I don't know if 2.5 will be good for me!

I am currently at 3cc's and still have only a little restriction. Going for my 4th fill tomorrow!!! My dr looks at me weird, too! I don't think he believes my when I tell him how little restriction I have.

I have 1.1cc's and I usually try the visual thing depending on what I am eating.
1/2 cup to 1 cup is what I shoot for but you know how that goes. I still have good restriction for now anyway. I too am alot tighter in the mornings up till mid morning I usually concentrate on my protein or water & liquids.
