Restriction: Full Vs. Satisfied

*** This may be true, however, just because you can eat more than a cup of food doesn't mean you should. More often than not, if you eat slowly and stop after eating no more than 1 cup of food, you will find that you are satisfied and no longer hungry despite the fact you could still physically eat more. Quit trying to test your band to see how much you can eat, because the only one that will fail the test is you, not the band.

Mis, you couldnt have said this any clearer or plainer than this.

This is 100% correct.

Ugh yes, it always make me cringe too! I literally sit here thinking "well, there's the next candidate for a slip"

read something yesterday about someone being banded and recently filled. but could eat all they wanted. How about staying with the guidelines? 1/2-3/4 I eat only. I am guessing I could eat more (if I wanted or if I tried) but I am making the mental decision NOT too. Sure the band will help us eat less, but we need to eat less (and better choices) . Just baffled by some posts.
