THE ELUSIVE SWEET SPOT


Now that I am on solid foods the confusion has set in. What is the sweet spot? How do I find it? Is it next to the fountain of youth or closer to El Dorado? What is it I'm aiming for?
Over the past 2 weeks since I've been on solid foods - the weight loss has dramatically shut down. My band is slightly over half full and I have some restriction but is it enough restriction? My meals are definitely smaller than I used to eat, and my calorie intake is between 900 to 1200/day. I do feel full when I eat with a smaller amount of food but it only seems to last about 2 hours and then I am fighting to wait for the 3 to 4 hours for the next meal. Another huge battle I'm having is head hunger at night. Between 8:30 and 9:00 pm I start to get the snackies and I want something to munch on while I watch t.v. - so I know that is just a personal battle I will have to deal with; but what is my ultimate intake and fullness feeling that means I am at that sweet spot. I'm almost scared to get another fill because I am only 4cc's away from my band being full and then where do I go from there?
So any sage advice on where I should settle in at?
