I had pretty good restriction for the first couple of weeks. Now, it's alot less. Dr. thinks I may have a slow leak in my port. I go for a check-up/fill on Monday, so we'll see. I haven't weighed in about 3 weeks, so we'll see there, too. I was tired of being a slave to the scale, so I just quit. Congrats on your weight loss! That's awesome!!!:Dancing_sorry:

Hi,

I'm from Wellston, OH. Banded July 3, 07 by Dr. curry in Cincy. I see him Friday 13th in Columbus, OH

Can anyone tell me how you know when you hit the sweet spot as they call it. In just the last month, I have strted to get full on only a couple of teaspoons of food. I try to make sure I drink a Protein shake or two a day to meet guidelines. But food is just a big turn off right now to mee. My taste just keeps changing considerably.

Anyone else experiencing this? Is it normal? I have only had two fills since my surgery. Not very much. I started losing again. Couldn't get out of the 250's now down 248.4 and holding. Bought a recumbent bike and started using it daily.

Also, what is the limit to fills? How many cc's? Is everybody different in this area? I didn't thnk I had lost alot of weight since 2007, but I am down by my scales 64.6 lbs. That is an accomplishment in itself, especially when you count every bite, drink etc. It is a definite effort on my part. I didn't figure it to be easy, and so since being anal in tracking things, it is a good fit for me.

Thanks for the answers in advance to all that replys.

Donna
