I'm paying closer attention to the signs that its time for me to stop eating. Sometime I get the signs and sometimes I don't. For my first 2 meals today...nothing. Granted, the 1st meal was a fruit and Protein smoothie. Just now I had some chicken breast, "no Pasta lasagne" and spinach and I felt it. The lump in my throat and a sigh happened so I stopped eating. Now if I could just get this to happen for all my meals I'd be golden.

Oh how jealous I am of those of you who have found your happy spot!!! I think I've got too much in my band now. I just had my 7th fill this week and am at 7.75 in a 10 cc. . . I think I might fall back to the 7.5 simply because life was easier. I'll just diet more. It helped, but I think I might have expect it to do too much. . . at 7.75 I couldn't even take 2 sips of a slim fast this morning. That's not right is it?

My surgeon told me slim fast was a no no with lap band because it expands in your stomach. Thats why it makes you feel full, but you dont need that since you only have a small pouch now. I bet thats why you couldn't drink very much of it. I hear Optifast is band friendly. Have not tried it personally. I have had muscle milk tho and it's pretty good and has Protein. :)

I just had my second fill this past friday and I can tell a small difference each time. I can eat about a cup or more so I think in a month ill be ready for another fill. I get free fills for the first 3 months after surgery so I'm taking advantage of that! I still have yet to experience slimming or getting stuck (knocks on wood), but I'm sure it will happen after the third fill, I have a feeling that will be my sweet spot. Good luck to you!

I had that sweet spot the first 3 days or so after my first fill. It was AWESOME. I went out to eat with my husband and I ordered a salad with chicken and a Margarita. I maybe could drink 1/2 of my Margarita and 1/3 of my sald, brought the rest home. Actually I didn't want to go to dinner because I wasn't hungry from Breakfast, but hubby was starving. I thought "this is what it's all about!" You eat like a skinny person!! It was really short lived though, I guess the swelling went down or whatever. Now, I could eat a lot-I am looking forward to that 2nd fill so badly!!!!

These responses were very helpful to me because I'm at 5.5cc/10, hoping I get there soon.

Just a side note, why are "spots" so hard to find (ex: sweet spot & G-spot) hahaha

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
