:hungry: After my first two fills I want very hungry for aobut 3 weeks. Then I'm just starving. By the time I can get another app. I just maintaing because I cant help but eat everything thats not in the trash can. I tied to get fills closer but my dr is so booked I ususally cant get one for 2 months. Any one have any idea on this.

This is a normal cycle, I've been the same, get a fill, drop a bit of weight quickly, drop a tiny bit more then maintain till next fill. But over time, as I've approached perfect restriction (not there yet, groan, 14 months down the track, I dont think I'll ever get there) the fills last longer. Its taken 3 months for me to get hungrier this time, not 3 weeks.

I'm going in for another fill on Tuesday and can relate to what you're experiencing. Because of the high volume of patients, I wait 6-8 weeks for a fill appointment. This time, the restriction was perfect for a few weeks and then slacked off. Regardless of what my level of restriction is, I stay on a healthy diet and don't allow myself to "pig out" or go crazy. For me, that sets off a chain reaction that can last days.

Try joining one of the challenges to help stay motivated on on tract when you're waiting for a fill. Also, try taking up a hobby. If you're doing something with your hands, they can't pick up food! :-)

Try making a monthly appointment with your doctor. You can always cancel if you feel your restriction is sufficient. But you have the security of knowing if you need to see him/her the date isn't too far off.

I make mine while I'm writing out my copay check.
