Confused. Are you getting an unfill just so you can indulge? Or are the "tight band" and the "olive garden" two separate things?

But to answer your question...I'd get whatever I wanted. I'd have them box 1/2 of it up before they brought it to me, then I'd probably eat about 1/2 of what was left and have a wonderful time. :biggrin:

I'd pass on the good breadsticks though...I can eat bread, but now they'll fill me up and I'd rather have FOOD!

Too tight is very personal, unless you are so tight you can't get liquids and "food" down.

I can eat about a cup at a sitting (I don't usually measure but have done it a time or two just for info) depending on the food. Softer things I can eat more of course.

If you are losing 1-2 pounds a week you're probably good.

How much of a fill do you have? It sounds like you're pretty tight, but I guess you have to figure out how tight you need to be to lose weight successfully. I have 7 cc in a 10 cc band, and I can still eat pretty big (probably over a cup) portions of anything. I'm still trying to figure out what good restriction is supposed to feel like, too. :laugh:

Hope you had a good dinner. I like it how Olive Garden posts nutrition information on their website.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
