i have a question and i need some advice and some help. I am 4 weeks post op. I have lost 11 pounds . I saw my surgeon today. he says i am doing good. i told him that i can eat a cup to a cup and half of food. i am more hungry and can eat more in the afternoon. think i even ate 2 cups at a time a couple of days ago. anyway, i asked about a fill. he said i am doing good and he may not give me one like i was told he would on my 6th week visit. i am discouraged. i want a fill. i think i need one to. he told me to eat only a cup of food, 3 times a day. how do you do this with no restriction? any suggestions? i told him that i am hungry and that i would like a fill two weeks from today and he started with this Fills are not majic speech. I am trying hard, exercising, changed what i eat, vitimans, etc. but he made it sound like i was out of line asking for a fill when i am do one. did anyoen of you guys have surgeons that were very consertive on the fills? thanks.

I just got my first fill and the doctor told me it would feel like I had no restriction for a little longer. They say it takes about 3 fills. My doctor fills no more frequently that 4 weeks apart. I'm pretty good with about a cup of food, but get hungry so I have small Snacks.

Protein Water is good because it keeps me full throughout the day.
