I had my 5th fill on April 15th.. I'm at perfect restriction,, probably just a little bit over.. I have not lost any weight as the scale reads, but I do beleive I have lost inches as my pants are getting bigger in the waist area.. I know I don't need another fill, I have eposides everynow and then of pbing, slimming, for instance I had one last monday on the June 7th and then another one on June 12th, its not a daily vomitting or anything like that. I do go to the dr on this thursday june 17th.. and I will be discussing these issues with him.. what do you all think? do you think I'm mabye a slight to tight? I do know that I need to exercise, as I haven't been steady with that.

It sounds like it is working to me.

How much are you eating? More than a half cup?

Do you know what causes the episodes you do have? Are you eating too fast or too much when they happen?

Thanks for your response, It depends on what I'm eating... The only thing I'm able to eat all of it, is a 6 inch turkey sub which is a pretty good size.. I'm not able to eat chicken or other meats at all, I try and chew slow and chew up but I still end up slimming it up.. I'm getting my protein through shakes.. I go to the dr on tomorrow so I will be discussing...I feel full all the time also.. Like this morning I woke up and I just feel bloated and full....

Sounds like you are at about the same point as me. Fortunately, I have no problem eating anything as long as I take my time.

I too have been measuring whether a fill is required or not by eating a 6 inch sub. The PA/dietitian that does my fills says that there is in no way that I should be able to eat half of the bread that is in the sub.

I also wake up tighter than I go to bed. I was told this is normal as well. So, I usually have a shake; yogurt or cottage cheese for Breakfast.

It is great to feel full all of the time but make sure you are getting the proper nutrients. Most importantly, make sure you are consuming at least 50 grams of protein daily and drinking at least 64 ounces of Water.

Good luck and congrats on your progress!!

Thank you for your input and suggestions. I only can eat the 6inch sub if it's toasted.. LOL... Good Luck on your progress also... We will learn what works for us and what dont.

I heard you should eat 1/2 your weight in grams of protien.

Does anyone know if this is true.??:scared2:

Doesn't sound right to me if you are weighing yourself in pounds.

I was told by multiple nutritionists and my surgeon that women should consume at least 50 grams of Protein and men 68 grams.

PS. I had a fill since I posted that last post and can barely eat a 1/2 cup now. Nor am I hungry. I am eating just to get my protein in.
