I had my surgery on Oct. 3rd and I have had one fill, I am at 3.5 cc's and out of curiosity and to determine if I needed another fill I Tried Garlic bread at a friends house and I was able to eat 3 pieces after having had spaghetti sauce with meat and salad I could not believe it but I was so hungry so I kept eating it (mind you even after tracking calories I was only 200 over for the day) I could not believe I was able to eat that much with no problems so I scheduled another fill to see how it goes. Myfitnesspal.com and on my phone is my BFF right now so I can make healthy choices I love it
