I'm going in for a second fill on August 8th and I was just curious about how I would know if I need one. I have heard others say they get hungry quickly therefore they would get a fill. Right now, I eat every three to four hours. I sometimes snack depending on what I have eaten before. Portion wise, I can eat about two cups or so of food.

Just curious thats all. Thanks for your input in advance.

When you are filled under Fluoroscopy, and they fill you to your fill line, you will stay full for about 5-6 hrs.. When you start getting hungry every 2-3 hrs.,

It's time for a fill.

I think that is the only way to get filled, because you don't play around with every 6 weeks or so, of going in for a tiny fill.

This way you go straight to your fill line, and your good to go. Mention that to your Dr....

The need for a fill should be based on how soon you get hungry, not how much you can eat. My doc recommended 1/2c of food. Protion control is key. I was told 1/2c, but has never worked for me, closer to 3/4 and I am good. I'm sure 2c is to much. Make sure you let the doc know how much you're getting in. Hope you are keeping a food log.

My doctor says 4 oz. lean protein and 1/2 cup veggies should keep me satisfied (not full) for 4-5 hours. The best way to judge if I need a fill, for me, is to eat exactly what I'm supposed to and then pay close attention to when I'm hungry again (not just when I want to eat something else).

Thanks all! Yeah, I think two cups is too much. I will take all of your responses into account. And yes, I use myfitnesspal app on my phone . I don't add my exercise because it messes with my head of my remaining calories .
