I am transitioned back onto "normal" foods and doing great. Eating 1/2 cup portions and finding this is all coming very naturally now. I automatically set aside or throw away half my food and eat a band size portion and feel satisfied. I know the band is still new to my body but I can honestly say this is the best decision I ever made for myself! Scheduled for my first fill at the end of the month but not so sure I need one since I am losing steadily and am satisfied. Guess we will see.

Yippee! Just what I'm hoping for -- smooth and easy, not obsessive but just a new way.

That sounds awesome I hope that I am able to manage that well also! I am still on liquids so I am struggling to keep my caloric intake up.

i passed on my first fill and honest to goodness the next day i was starving. Think long and hard before you pass. I just got my third fill and i think that was the magic one. Good luck ladies.

I doubt I will pass on it, just depends on what the doc says. I am losing about a 1/2 to a full pound a day. So nice and steady.

I dream of this! That is so awesome for you :]

I hope I start to feel full, I'm not passing on my first fill I haven't lost any weight in 3 weeks!

Never pass on a fill until you are in the green zone. Took me 4 post op fills to get into the green. 8 months 90 pounds and loving it.

Isn't the green zone being full for 4 hours on 1/2 of food?
