Giby97, Traveling to Obtain a "FILL"

How does one get a "Fill". Traveling, sometimes great distances. For me it's up early like 5 am. Ride in a car to the bus station, and find a parking slot. Then its purchase a ticket for a 3.5 hr bus ride, where at the end you change mode of trans for a subway, then a briskly walk say 10 minutes to the Doc's office. All this for a 20 minute "Fill" a weight-in. Before departing the doc's office, try to drink some water to see if your ok from the "Fill". Then it's a reversal of the travel back home. Practically a full day, and I am thankful I can do this on a Saturday. After the doc's appointment may with my wife stop at a restuarant like we always do and have a light lunch-soup for me, maybe alittle rice.

After a few bites as in the past, that's it. Restriction. Yes that's what it's all about, more restriction, and eating less. Once home it's liquids for a few days, tomatoe juice, chicken noodle soup, and water, maybe a shake or two, and possibly a sugarless popsicle. This will be my routine for a week. Yes very demanding and strick but necessary for me to guarantee my loss by 18 Sep of a few more unwanted #s. This is my story. and on 17 Sep you can hear the rest of my story-my results on this particular journey. Have a great day all!!:tt2:
