Sweet Spot?

Sweet Spot?

I'm cautiously optimistic, but after my 6th fill on friday (2.8 ccs) I think I just may have hit the fabled sweet spot.  I was very worried at first that I was too tight because liquids hurt going down, but since I started eating again, it's been like a miracle.  I hate to use that word, but it's true.  I've felt less tightness, fewer painful episodes and am eating less than a cup at a time.  It's interesting that I've noticed my band less, except with liquids which I have to sip very slowly.  Of course I'm much more cautious about eating small bites and chewing, but maybe because the food is actually staying in the pouch and not immediately pushing through the band, I've had an easier time than before this fill.  I am so happy to finally be making some dramatic progress, 4 pounds since friday!  I'm sure it's partially because of the liquids after the fill, but I think I can keep up at least 2 pounds a week with this fill for a while!
