When to fill?

[Guest guest]

I am surprised at the apparent restriction and lack of hunger that I

am experiencing without having had a fill. Admittedly, I am only 3

weeks down the path and haven't started really solid food yet, but I

was experiencing little hunger even on the full liquid phase, and

with mushies a very small meal satisfies me for hours. I hadn't

really expected any restriction before I got a fill, but although

everything goes down just fine, I become satisfied very quickly. It

almost sounds like what some of you refer to as a sweet spot. Is this

just a normal stage that we all go through, and will I start to

experience increased hunger when I begin with the harder meats and

veggies?

For what it is worth, I have pretty much stuck with the program as

given by the doc; clears 10 days, fulls, and mushies a tad early

because everything seemed to be working so well. He told me before I

left that he had put 1.4 cc's in my 10cc band. He also told me that I

didn't need to hurry to get a fill if I was still losing weight, but

I actually expected to be hungry until the fill. As a schoolteacher,

the best time for me to travel for a fill is during the summer, and I

had planned to go in July, but now I wonder. Anyone have any similar

experiences?

I appreciate you all.
