Soooo frustrating! Seriously, not a single pound. Not strict on counting calories. I manage to do that about 3 days a week. The problem is that I don't feel full or satisfied... I have 7cc in my 11cc JJ band. When is it that restriction will kick in??? I can feel it after about 1.5 cups of food but it's gone from the pouch not long after my meal and i'm hungry again. Maybe I need another fill already?

Changes i've made: avoiding soft foods and dips in general, there are too many calories. Skipping Breakfast at 6 or 7 am because i'm just not hungry, so why eat. I eat at 9 or 10 instead and it's a Protein. dinner is half a plate of meat, carb, and veggie, and half the plate is vegetable so I keep it all in proportion to that.

Now that i write this maybe it's what i'm drinking that is getting in extra calories. Ugh, what a process. But I do wonder if I need another fill if I can eat nearly 1.5 cups of food in one sitting? Or am I going to wake up one miraculous day and I get restriction?

I'm struggling with the learning curve...

Soooo, since I made this post nearly 2 weeks ago, I am down nearly 6 pounds!!! Changes made are eating MORE at a meal and feeling FULL. Yay!! Turns out I was eating about 1/4 - 1/2 cup at a time and then snacking all the time. The snacking was what would equal out to about 1.5 cups of food for a meal. No wonder I never felt full or lost any weight. Thanks for the tips. I needed a portion check and now have a measuring cup in my bag LOL. Counting calories happens 5-6 days a week now instead of 2 or 3. What a change!

Thanks for the help. ~Laurel

That's great! Thanks for posting. Now we call all learn from this.

As frustrating as it is, it's comforting to know I'm not the only one struggling. I have the same problem. I'm also about 2 months out, have had 1 fill and I don't feel any restriction :/ I hope we both can get over this hump and get going with our weight loss! Good luck!
