What is the "Sweet Spot"

[AtlSpeedy 0]

I constantly read about people hitting the "Sweet Spot" with the band. What does that feel like? Are you able to eat just a few bites without pbing or vomiting and that is the sweet spot?

Is part of being in the sweet spot, acknowledging that you can no longer tolerate certain foods?

I am so confused on how tight or loose my band should be. If it is too loose then I can eat a whale. If it is tight then I might be able to eat 3 crackers.

What size meal should I be able to eat in the "sweet spot"?:biggrin:

Very good question. I look forward to the answers that come with it. I think I may be at mine, but alas, my brain hasn't caught up with my band. I am having a hard time, and am going to stick to liquids and Protein Shakes to see if I can get the swelling down (if that is what it is) and go from there. There are not many foods I can tolerate as I did before. meat is almost a no go for me (at least this week) and I am afraid that I may be too tight. Who knows, this is such a learning process that it is almost overwhelming. Good luck! :biggrin:

I have had my lapband for over 4 yrs and I'm not sure what the "sweet spot" is... I will be awaiting a reply as well. I am thinking I am there since I have had the same fill amount for 2 yrs now. (2.2) I have good meals and bad meals, but I blame those on myself...eating too fast or taking too big a bite. I am still trying to break 50 yrs of bad eating habits.

Thanks for posting! Joanie :thumbup:)
