ok i need some advise, or information from some people who have found there "sweet spot". How do you know? I think i am very close and somedays i can eat alot less than others and feel just fine with that other days i can eat anything in the room.... Is it where you have that every day that you can only eat somethings and little amounts all the time... or is this imaginary and not going to happen all the time? any help would be apreciated. this is really the first restriction i have had and it came 3 weeks after my last fill.

Girlfriend I feel for you. If you can eat 1-3 oz at a time or no more than 1/2 cup of food you have good restriction. If you can eat 1 cup and still lose no worries, stick to that. For me its less. It took me 45 minutes to eat a small chicken breast and about `1/2 to 3/4 cup of salad today and I was fine for almost 3 hours. I like to be tight and I typically lose 1-2 lbs so that is good. You just have to see how you do with the PBing and stuff like that. If I eat too much or too fast I am in trouble. Last night I ate 1 tablespoon or rice, 3 slices of zuchinni and about 1-2 oz of chicken okay. It took me about 30 minutes. No PB.

Girlfriend, you are not even close. PM me if you want more details. I eat 1-2 oz at a time. It took me litterally 45 minutes today to get down 3 oz of Protein and about 1/2 cup of salad. My doctor said with good restriction 1/2 egg is enough, yikes!

the "sweet spot" is the place where you are filled just enough that you loose alot of weight and do not feel hungry often. I haven't reached this point yet so that is the best i can discribe it lol
