Please explain what your "sweet spot" feels like..

I'm paying closer attention to the signs that its time for me to stop eating. Sometime I get the signs and sometimes I don't. For my first 2 meals today...nothing. Granted, the 1st meal was a fruit and Protein smoothie. Just now I had some chicken breast, "no Pasta lasagne" and spinach and I felt it. The lump in my throat and a sigh happened so I stopped eating. Now if I could just get this to happen for all my meals I'd be golden.

Oh how jealous I am of those of you who have found your happy spot!!! I think I've got too much in my band now. I just had my 7th fill this week and am at 7.75 in a 10 cc. . . I think I might fall back to the 7.5 simply because life was easier. I'll just diet more. It helped, but I think I might have expect it to do too much. . . at 7.75 I couldn't even take 2 sips of a slim fast this morning. That's not right is it?

My surgeon told me slim fast was a no no with lap band because it expands in your stomach. Thats why it makes you feel full, but you dont need that since you only have a small pouch now. I bet thats why you couldn't drink very much of it. I hear Optifast is band friendly. Have not tried it personally. I have had muscle milk tho and it's pretty good and has Protein.

I just had my second fill this past friday and I can tell a small difference each time. I can eat about a cup or more so I think in a month ill be ready for another fill. I get free fills for the first 3 months after surgery so I'm taking advantage of that! I still have yet to experience slimming or getting stuck (knocks on wood), but I'm sure it will happen after the third fill, I have a feeling that will be my sweet spot. Good luck to you!

I had that sweet spot the first 3 days or so after my first fill. It was AWESOME. I went out to eat with my husband and I ordered a salad with chicken and a Margarita. I maybe could drink 1/2 of my Margarita and 1/3 of my sald, brought the rest home. Actually I didn't want to go to dinner because I wasn't hungry from Breakfast, but hubby was starving. I thought "this is what it's all about!" You eat like a skinny person!! It was really short lived though, I guess the swelling went down or whatever. Now, I could eat a lot-I am looking forward to that 2nd fill so badly!!!!

These responses were very helpful to me because I'm at 5.5cc/10, hoping I get there soon.

Just a side note, why are "spots" so hard to find (ex: sweet spot & G-spot) hahaha
