  16. How much can you eat? Compared to something like a McDonald's happy meal or tacos? I'm on my 5th fill and still I feel like I maybe can eat more than I should be able to... Thanksgiving dinner was delicious, but I ate a little of EVERYTHING lol Only gained .6 lbs though
  17. I used to be able to eat fried until a few days ago when I got my 5th fill. I tried half of one yesterday, chewed and chewed, swallowed, and it would not go down until I drank a lot of water. It hurt, though... No more fried for me.. But it's okay, they're not one of my things.
  18. I still have not thrown up, but have had 2 or 3 timed where I realize I didn't chew well enough or took too big of a bite and it does suck. What I do is take deep breaths, walk around, and drink water to force it down... After the first couple timed, though, it is really hard to forget to eat conservatively so it won't happen again!
