:help:Hey everyone!! It has been a while since I have been here. I was banded Nov 27, 2006. Seems like everything is going okay with me. I have lost 60lbs:clap2::clap2: but I still have a good amount to go. I had a question. How much are you able to eat before you get full?

Wow, that's a tough question--it seems to differ for me on a daily basis! After a fill, I am usually only able to eat about a half a cup to a cup before I am satisfied. I try not to eat until I am actually full--that is pushing it for me. I stop when I don't feel hungry anymore. But, for luch I can usually eat a small Weight Watcher's or Lean Cuisine meal--one that just has meat and veggies--and that is completely satisfying. Mornings, I seem to be a little tighter, and sometimes only drink a protein shake. It's just so different for everybody. We have been banded about the same amount of time--I was done on NOvember 30, 2006, and have lost 74 pounds so far--(10 of that I lost on my pre-op diet), so I think we are both doing great! But, if you are able to eat more than you think is normal for you--get a fill. Just don't get so tight that you can't eat real food!
