One week before surgery

Learning to eat slowly and take small bites really is a hard lesson to learn. When I am really hungry, I want to eat fast. But it makes me feel sick and I always eat too much and get the hiccups. :smile2:

Recognizing "FULL" is also a lesson that takes alot of practice.

It has been 4 months and I have had 3 fills. I am feeling restriction pretty well and losing weight weekly. The first 3 months were somewhat frustrating. I had hoped for a larger weightloss and unrealistically wanted the first fill to do the trick. We are such an instant gratification people. Aren't we?
