So yesterday was my second fill. My doctor doesn’t seem thrilled about my weight loss progress. He says it is "ok" but could be much better and wants me to really focus on measuring food and working out. I know I can be doing better, but hell if I could do 2 shakes and dinner (what he wants me to do) then I would need this damn band! Hopefully the 1cc he put in (bringing me to 6.5cc's in a 12 cc band) will help me to feel and stay full from the shakes.
he did say one thing to me that makes total sense and it's something I have thought of in some way or another for a long time and need to be actively thinking about it more. he said in America we say we are hungry or we are full. in countries where the population is more thin like France they say "je faim" ( I'm hungry) or "Je n'ai plus faim" (I am no longer hungry) they don’t need to feel FULL, just not hungry enough to go 3 hours until their next small snack.
not a radical concept but one that I am having a hard time implementing.
