I have to be accountable for my actions, yet I can't seem to find the motivation. I'm starting this food journal. If anyone wants to participate, simply write down what you ate today. Every time you eat, come back to your post and edit it so that your entire day stays in your post. Maybe it's a stupid idea, but heck, I'm desperate.

I have not been able to eat much since flying to KY, so I will resume my daily intake after I get back home. I may have to get a partial unfill if this keeps up. I have to drink hot tea just to get my meds down and drink my shake. I appreciate ya'll for being faithful to this thread. I know this will help me with accountability when the going gets tuff. Thanks!!!!!!!!

Considering you've only had 1 fill, you probably don't have restriction so it's no wonder you're eating more than I am right now. I was eating more prior to having proper restriction too. I've never been a big eater though. How long ago was your fill? Whenever I get hungry after 2-3 hours and/or I can eat substantially more at one meal, I know it's time to get a fill. If that sounds like what you're experiencing, you may wish to make an appt. to get a fill. Please discuss with your doctor what you're eating and how often so that you he/she can determine the proper amount of your fill.

I answered your latte question in a private message.
