Question for those of you at your "Sweet Spot"

[MrsShannonDennis 10]

So I wanted to know how you knew you were at the right fill amount. What were you able to eat? How much made you satisfied? I am trying to find out if I am good right now or if I should get some taken out. I would appreciate any feedback!

I was just going to ask this same question, but I wanted to know if I needed more of a fill. LOL Thank you for reading my mind!

I can eat about a cup of food and feel full for about 6 hours...IF the food is something like chicken, steak, dryer fish (LOL that's fish that is dry, not fish done in a dryer LOL) . And I don't get "full"...I am just "not hungry" any more (it is subtle. hard to get the hang of) I eat and then kind of forget about food. I asked my doc if a cup was ok (so many on here will say "I eat 1/4 cup" or whatever) and he said it's PERFECT! So I guess I'm there.

The chart in his office says if you are full on a small portion, are losing 1-2 pounds a week, and stay full for hours, then you're "there".

And I can eat ANY food. I know many have problem foods. I will have a problem with chicken skin if it isn't very crisp but otherwise I can eat anything. So you can't really go by what you can't eat. You do need to be able to eat most nutritious things though. Too tight and you'll turn to softer "junk" type foods and that will slow or stop your weight loss.
