i just had another .5cc put into my 4cc band which now equals 1 cc all together. sometimes i feel good restriction and other times like tonight not so good. i had some steak,veg and potato and im surprised that im not overally stuffed. i probably shouldnt let myself get to that point but lately i eat until i feel to full. should i just be eating one cup and then stop no matter what? after my first fill i disciplined myself to only eat so much and it worked for six weeks and i lost over 12 pounds. but i went 2 weeks with eating whatever i wanted and didnt pay much attention to how much protein and calories i was eating. i think if i measure my food and count my calories like i did for the first two months this will keep me in check. its easy to slip when there is stress in your life. can i do this? can i go back to what worked so well for me in the beginning or are my bad habits going to rule my life?

My fill/restriction fluxuates all month long. I try to not eat till feeling full.. sometimes waiting that long is too much. Good luck.
