Do I need a fill?

Ok, so I had my second fill about amonth ago (I now have 4CC's in my 11CC band) and finally, the scale is moving in the right direction! Albeit slowly, but thats ok. My quesions, is:

I can get full on 1/2 to 3/4 of food, and Im eating the right things, chewy meats, and fiberous fruits and veggies, but im only full for 3 hrs or so. Then my tummy starts to growl. My surgeons guidlines say that I should only have 3 meals a day with NO snacking. So if I am hungry every three hours, then im not at my right fill level right? I am losing weight. But im using a lot of will power. How long should I stay full between meals?

My nutritionist told me that I should eat 3 mini meals every 3-4 hours so it sounds about right that you would get hungry about then. Some ppl can go longer before getting hungry (like me). I just got my first fill 15 mins ago but I didnt really need it. I could go all day without eating..lol.

3-4 hours sound good to me!!

My doc says 3 meals a day, each meal should last you 4-5 hours, so if I were you I'd get a teeny fill. You're so close!
