The Daily: Not filled enough?

I've only lost about 20lbs since I got the band last years. They were slow on filling to make sure not to overfill, but I don't think I got enough. For the most part my weight is more stable than it's ever been and I was gaining on a regular basis before the band. However I still have a huge problem with night eating. I am restricted during the day, but at night I still have almost none. I am wondering if I get enough restriction if this will change and the weightloss will continue. I still have issues as well with the food only staying in the pouch for perhaps 15 minutes max. How tight should the band be?

I think the rule of thumb is 1- 1 1/2 c. of food (3-4 oz of solid protein) keeping you full for at least 4 hours. I'm opposite. I am tighter at night (TG) I don't know if working out in the evening has anything to do with that. I am usually tighter at night.

Thanks so much for the information. Now I know for certain I am not filled enough. I can actually feel it empty in just a few minutes.
