4th Fill this Week - Please tell me overeating will stop

I was filled on 1/6/2010. So far I have had 3 fills with 1cc each. I have lost 23 pounds to date, but it is VERY slow for me. Most of that weight loss was from pre and post op.

 

I don't think they do a very good job preparing people for how long it takes to get to that "sweet spot" that you know you have a restriction in place and working.:rolleyes2:

 

I am still waiting for that restriction that will not allow me to continue to overindulge. I am told it will come.

 

Right now there are some foods, mostly chicken or some noodles that will get stuck and I can not eat them.

 

What I am really curious about is what is the lucky number of cc's that will get me to that magic "won't over eat" number? Right now, I can still eat way too much portion size. Most people tell me at some point I will only be able to eat about 2 - 4 ounces at a time. I am very eager to be able to feel that.

Same for me.Certain things get stuck (chicken), but salads go down with no problem. I received a fill this week and can feel a little restriction for the first time. This is my 4th. What's wrong?
