I had surgery on April 2 and have noticed that I am a lot more hungry this week. I've also noticed that I have kept in my mind that I am on a journey and although I notice that I have no restriction, I have kept my diet in mind. I've read were a lot of people have problems once they receive fills like vomiting, which is one of the things I hate most in the world, and would really like to avoid at all costs. Has anyone ever not had a fill and continued to lose weight just by following and sticking to the diet? Just curious.

I had my first fill on Monday and I was worried about the regurgitating, etc., but truthfully - it hasn't been bad at all. The experience of the fill was not that bad and I haven't had issues. I was on pureed last night and no problems. My stomach has been growling because it wants some REAL food and today I get my mushies, but the biggest thing is to remember to CHEW CHEW CHEW. I put my fork down after every single bite.

I read somewhere that you should use a knife and a fork to eat EVERYTHING now. Even a candy bar. (I think of George Costanza and giggle at that one) But, I do use it with everything I eat - even pizza. I find that it really does help you control your bites, chewing and portions. :drool:

You'll do great! Only you can tell what your body wants/needs. :smile:
