I was wondering can someone tell me, how do you know when you have reached that sweet spot? I have 7cc fill and can still eat almost anything. In the mornings its a little difficult but then gets better. :drool:

Most doctors have a chart that shows the red zone, the green zone and the yellow zone. The green zone is what you're aiming for. In the yellow zone, you don't have enough restriction so you can eat more than you should. In the red zone, you often can't eat many things and thus do not eat enough. And, just like Goldilocks, the green zone is "just right." You should be able to eat around 3/4 cup of food and not get hungry for 4 hours. If you're waiting for some magic sensation to stop, it may not be there...unless getting stuck and PBing because there isn't room for anymore food counts.

For me, I could just keep eating well past what I need. But if I eat on plan (3 oz of lean Protein and a vegetable, and the occasional whole grain carb serving), I can go 4 hours or even more before I am hungry again. It confuses me totally to hear someone say "what does restriction feel like" because what you are actually hoping to feel is SATIETY. The feeling of satisfaction that you have eaten enough to not be hungry. Notice I didn't say "enough to feel like you just ate Thanksgiving dinner".
