Just curious if you think its best to eat until you are full or if you just eat until you aren't hungry. I've been debating since my last fill because I have real restriction, something I haven't had before.

So if I eat until I'm not hungry, I eat less at one sitting but will I be hungry sooner?

If I eat until I'm full though will it really stick longer?

Heh, hope that's not confusing.. just curious what your thoughts are on it.

Such very good questions and one that took me almost a year to figure out- i would advocate eating until satisfied and definitely not full. full for most bandsters means pretty darn stuffed. you will have to experiment on this as it takes some practice - honestly satisfied now means to me soooo little - my meals started on a salad plate - now it is a saucer - 1/2 protein, 1/2 vegetable and a spoon or two of starchy carb in the middle - fruit is usually a snack for me - my doc says snacks are fine - just chose wisely - always best not to stuff yourself in anticipation of what will happen later - take each meal as it comes and eat to satisfied - it takes aLMOST 20 minutes to recognize 'full' and if you overeat boy will you feel it.

:clap2: Lets here it for Dr. Kuri:clap2: I'm a new be with my band, but this is what I do, I just put about a half of cup of food on my plate or less, and see if I can eat it, and after I stop eating, about 5min later, that's when I'll get full.

Have to agree. Eat until satisfied, not until full.
