Question for those who hit the sweet spot: What does hunger feel like now? How does it feel to be "full" on the lap band? Can anyone describe it for me? Just wondering what I'd be looking for after I get the surgery and start having fills. Thanks!

I just wanted to say that your words about a "soft stop" really resonated with me. I started trying to listen to my body to find it and I think for the first time, I felt it today! I'm eating soup and at first, almost every bite was coming up so I started a stopwatch. I took a small bite and chewed for 30 seconds, then swallowed, waited a full minute, then took a sip of water and waited another full minute, then started over with another small bite. At five minutes, I all of a sudden felt this feeling. ..which I can't explain, it wasn't a "full" feeling, but it was an "enough" feeling. And I didn't have those bites come back up!

I'm SO excited. This is going to be really really hard to retrain my self on how to eat so slowly, but I'm excited for the challenge!

So thank you for the information and giving me a tip I could actually use!
