My doctor said I was right in the middle of the "to fill or not to fill" area because he is happy with what I have lost so far . . . so he opted to wait until the 17th for my first fill - BOO! AND . . . he asked how much I was eating at a time. When I said 1/2- 1 cup . . .he said "no - I want you to report back to me in BITES. I want you to do 8 bites and then stop . . . and see how that works". OMG . . . I'm going to be climbing the walls before January 17th! I should mention that he wants me on 2 Protein shakes a day also for Snacks . . . for 3 months . . . and to make sure I'm getting enough protein.

Chris,

I'm sure that was disappointing after all this time thinking it was coming today. On the plus side, you're doing something wonderful if he didn't think you needed the fill. Keep up the awesome work and the 17th will be here in no time.

On the other side.... BITES??? How in the world do you count bites? I thought you were doing great with the 1/2 cup thing. Now you have me scared about the 8th. However, I've not been able to keep it under 1 cup yet.

I'm working this week on getting my Water in this week. That is my goal. Set yourself a goal that maybe has NOTHING to do with weight and it will help you focus. Good luck on waiting. You're doing awesome right now. Hold on to that.

My doctor already have me waiting till 22nd Jan for my first fill and we had same date surgery. I been loosing ok amount of weight also since surgery but I am starting to get little more hungery and I dont want to start gaining. Gotta also do some blood work before appointment also...

Chris...well sounds like you're doing great!!!

When i start my mushies and until im at goal weight, Im only allowed 1oz meals at a time. 3 oz meals Per day. I bet that equals to about 8 bites..

Lots of people are doing the 1/2c-1c , but im only allowed a measly ounce.

You can do it, gf!
