I have become severely obsessed with bloggerland. I feel like I spend so much time reading about everyone else's journeys. I love it. It keeps me motivated, happy and also find I can relate to some of the stories and shed a few tears. I go onto everyones sites and continue to find new people to follow on here. I love it.

Couple questions for the pros out there. How do you know you are at your sweet spot??? I notice at 5 ccs I get full easy but also find I get hungry early and start to snack on things. Now does that mean I need a bit more of a fill?? I am going for one tomorrow. I have also noticed with some food it hurts when it passes through the band. I have learned to be a lot more careful. I have also had some food get stuck but am learning slowly what those foods are. I have also learned that I am tight in the morning and I have to take it easy in the morning and try to get water before I try to eat. I also enjoy tea and freshly juiced vegetable and fruit juices.

Another question my hair has started to fall out a lot. I know that it was like this after any of my surgeries and that it can not be food related because I have never eat so healthy before. So my question to you is how long before it quits falling out??? I have lots of hair so not worried about going bald but dang I hate getting handfuls out.

Well off to watch the rest of my soaps I got behind on blogs and on my favourite shows being away..

Just wanted you all to know that I love each and everyone one of you for all the support you share with me. I come here for the motivation. I hope that I can help everyone as much as you have helped me.. HUGZ all the way around..:biggrin:

Good question about the "sweet spot"! I have been wondering that as well. I have read that term alot. I am also blog obsessed. Can't get enough!

no magic in knowing your sweet spot. If you have planned your journey by keeping an accurate food diary and weigh in regularly you will get to know your weight loss pattern. When you reach the point of feeling satisfied after 1/2 to 1 cup of food per meal and your two snacks, and are loosing weight, you are at your sweet spot. Just one word of caution. Stresses in your life can change the tightness of your band. So the sweet spot is a generalization. Mine has been at 5.5 ccs for two years now and I still get tight a vomit but generally I am satisfied after 1 cup of food.

As for your hair falling out, be sure and get your protoin. That is what the hair needs. Contact your clinic and ask the dietician for some advice.
