Definition of *sweet spot* from seasoned banders

[househuntress 1]

I was banded on April 9th and have had one fill of 1cc. I'm eating more than I know I should but not anywhere what I use to.

I haven't lost a pound since my fill which was 4 weeks ago. I hear people say they were *good* for 3 months and then haven't been since or they fell back into their old eating habits.

Why would that happen if they have the correct fill?

Does the *sweet spot fill* make you not hungry? So you can bypass those bad foods?

Seems like if you aren't losing weight and are still trying to eat within the rules you should have a fill...is this correct?

For those that have been banded over a year...Can you give me some insight?

Early on a good fill make me not hungry so I could easily avoid those bad fills. But that appetite/headhunger has returned for me, only I can control it better now, but its there. I'm really not sure if another fill would help or not, but I'm thinking about it.

I have only had my band 6 months, but I can tell you my last fill has made a huge difference. I get full really fast. I don't get hungry for hours. I don't have room for anything I am not supposed to have. If I wanted to eat something off limits right now, I would have to not eat my Protein. I don't want to do that because my hair has started falling out.

I heard that Hair loss is from lack of Protein, and possible other reasons. I guess what I am trying to say is right now I don't have any room for any empty calories.
