I was banded on July 24

Fill 1, 2cc on Sept.3

Fill 2, 2cc on Nov 4

Fill 3 is scheduled for tomorrow.

I basically feel like I can eat anything I want. Nothing gets stuck, nothing comes back up. . . . If you have found your sweet spot--what do you eat for lunch? How long do you stay full?

I'm eating 6in subway sandwiches without a blink. Is that seriously normal??

Thanks for your words!!!

Sweet Spot - I've found it and I'm living there! And yes I do know the definition of the sweet spot you are referring to but I like my definition better!

Isnt that awesome? That point where you have the energy, attitude, and inclination to live life with gusto? That in itself is the reason I have a smile on my face these days!!!

This is a great idea MM...about tracking what foods keep you full longer. I just started thinking I have to eat more Protein foods..like eggs, cheese, etc. I think I will track the time it takes to feel hungry again ....really good idea and I haven't heard this before either. It is true some foods especially now after the band effect my hunger more.

Thank you everyone. I had my fill--did the liquid, mushy thing for a week and have been adding things into my diet.

I'm still frustrated at how quickly I feel hungry. For example, today I had a toasted high Fiber english muffin with a scrambled egg and a piece of turkey bacon at 10am. My tummy was talking like crazy by 1.

I think I am going to start documenting how long things keep me full. I already track my food--but the time of satisfaction sounds like a better indicator.

Here's to getting and staying below 240. . . . it's been my demon number!!

cheers.

I have a 10cc band. Right now I have 6.5cc's in it and might be a tiny bit too tight this last time.

I had 3cc's put in at surgery- 11.26.08

1st fill 12.29.08 ~ 2cc's

2nd fill 1cc 1.16.09 .5cc taken out- too much at that time

3rd, 4th & 5th fill .5cc's felt great

6th fill last Thursday. I think is too tight again. HEARTBURN like no other. Monday I'm calling to have a .10cc taken out.

So far so good. These past three weeks I have lost about 8 or 9 pounds.

I can eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food at a time.

Taco's are my new fav. One and I'm full. Old days I could have eaten three or four.
