coming back

hi everyone. its been almost a year but im back and need support. im almost a year post op from lab band surgery and ive lost 71 pounds. 19 before surgery. i dont know if i have restriction or not. what does it feel like? I can still eat at least 2 cups. maybe i should cut back. I still eat the wrong stuff. still seems like willpower to me. any suggestions. thanks

gee i was trying to get my ticker downloaded. didnt suceed looks like. lol

Hey Lady! I've missed you and been wondering how you were doing! I sent you a few messages but never heard back! Glad to know that you are ok! 71 lbs. is good! Don't you feel better? Yea, if  you are eating two cups of food then I would say that you do not have good restriction....unless the foods are soft of course....like soups and chili and mashed potatoes and things like that. Are you eating dense protein like meats first and then a few bites of soft food? I have a super tight fill right now but when I have a fill with good restriction (my SWEET SPOT), I can usually eat about 7 bites of meat and then maybe one or two bites of something else. Sometimes I will eat a bite of bread too! That keeps me full until the next meal. Are you staying full between meals? If not and you find yourself snacking a lot, then you probably need a fill? How many fills have you had? Ok.....thats about all I can tell you until I hear back from you! Hope this helps you out some!
