Fourth fill did it for ME....

NOW I know what everybody was talking about!

I've had the long periods of time between meals, but now I'm finally satisfied (FULL) on such a SMALL amount of food.< /p>

Wow! Lucky you! I had my 4th fill today and don't think I am there yet. Your stats are pretty impressive too. Good going!

May I ask, how long did it take for that 4th fill to kick in? Was it immediate?

I had that fill one week ago today (1/13). Of course, the first day was liquids and the day after was mushies. So I didn't eat a regular meal until Wednesday. I was surprised how little I ate, but sort of skeptical. Every day since then has been the same. For example, I ate HALF of a "half size" Wendy's Baja salad. Went out with my husband and ate half of a side salad, four bites of a ribeye, and three bites of a baked sweet potato...... Felt Thsnksgiving Day Full. Did not feel this full within the week of getting my first three fills. I could go for a long time w/out getting hungry, but I knew I was eating larger portions than a "green zone" person should be eating. Best of luck to you too!

So happy for you! I think I may be there as well and four was my magic number, too. I had another appointment today but did not go -- next check-in is in three weeks and I will be paying close attention to whether I want a little more then or if I'm really already there. It is very exciting, isn't it? To have that chattering monkey mind shut up about the food. I am feeling lots of space in my life now that I'm not worrying about eating and my weight, whether I'm "on" or "off" a diet. Just being. And that is a wonderful thing.

This is how I understand it....

How many times a day do you eat? 2 to 3

How long do you go between meals? 5 to 6 hrs

Size of meal: Small / half a plate filled with Protein and then vegetable

How long does it take you to eat a meal? 15-30 minutes

When do you stop eating? When satisfied (not FULL)

Do you regurgitate/vomit? Rarely, if ever, and only when gulping down food and not eating small bites and chewing properly

Do you have night coughs? Never

These questions come from a chart published on this website as well as at my doctor's office.

But, to be honest, after reading all of these things for months, I just KNEW after this last fill. The portion size for me was the last piece of the puzzle to being GREEN!

Congratulations...now just Go with it, let it ride.....

If I'm not hungry, I don't force it...

Since I',m eating so little, the heck with calories...I just make the best of what I can eat by choosing the best foods...

Also, I think you can see why I don't worry about portion sizes...measuring...you just know it's right!

Again. congratulations on a new lifestyle....add some body toning exercising and cardio, then WATCH OUT!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
