lost track of how many fill's

I was banded Sept 2010. Down a total of 25 pounds. Did that before the band. I am going for another fill today and have lost track of how many fills I have had. What's a sweet spot? I can eat all the food I want.

I am 8 weeks post-op and had saline put into my band at surgery (4 cc). I measure out my foods for the one real meal I eat a day, 3 oz lean Protein & 6 oz veggies. I eat my protein first then move on to veggies and finish what I can. Some days I eat all that while other days I can not finish. For right now I believe I am at my sweet spot. Of course there are certain days too that I want to eat more but I do not. Just because you can eat more does not mean that you should. Are you measuring out your meals? Did your surgeon/dietician give you a specific meal plan to follow?

This. Even with a fill nothing will keep you from eating. Plenty of food goes down easy, even if you're in the "green zone." I'd focus on portion size and weighing/measuring your food before eluding to another fill.
