Confused. Are you getting an unfill just so you can indulge? Or are the "tight band" and the "olive garden" two separate things?

But to answer your question...I'd get whatever I wanted. I'd have them box 1/2 of it up before they brought it to me, then I'd probably eat about 1/2 of what was left and have a wonderful time. :biggrin:

I'd pass on the good breadsticks though...I can eat bread, but now they'll fill me up and I'd rather have FOOD!

no just feeling tight.. I ended up having a little bit of salad.. No bread sticks.. I have two kids they shared a small chesse pizza . so i ordered off the kids menu had grilled chicken Pasta which i didnt touch and broccoli I had maybe a 1/4 of the chicken .. Just seems as if i get a few bites and I am dont.. If that how it is for everyone or am i too tight??

Too tight is very personal, unless you are so tight you can't get liquids and "food" down.

I can eat about a cup at a sitting (I don't usually measure but have done it a time or two just for info) depending on the food. Softer things I can eat more of course.

If you are losing 1-2 pounds a week you're probably good.

How much of a fill do you have? It sounds like you're pretty tight, but I guess you have to figure out how tight you need to be to lose weight successfully. I have 7 cc in a 10 cc band, and I can still eat pretty big (probably over a cup) portions of anything. I'm still trying to figure out what good restriction is supposed to feel like, too. :laugh:

Hope you had a good dinner. I like it how Olive Garden posts nutrition information on their website.
