i had my fourth fill on june 24 and i can definetely feel a difference. i have gotten things to come back up if i eat to fast. some things i have a hard time with like chicken and some bread. i can also feel food going through if i dont chew it well. i am not loosing weight though. i was told that if i eat 1500 calories a day i will lose ( even without exercise) well ive been using my fitnesspal.com and keeping track of everything i put into my mouth. 5 out of 7 days i eat 1500 or less and the other two days on average i may eat around 1750-1900. i did notice that somedays half of my calories are coming from snacks. maybe i should limit how many calories i eat for snacks. my calories for each meal are around 300-450 so that is good. any suggestions?

ps its summer and ive been getting a small soft serve ice cream once a week

My doc lectured me for a half hour last week about eating snacks. He says he wants me to eat 3 meals a day and NO snacks. He wants me to be sure I eat until I am full for those 3 meals though. If I eat more during the meals my hunger should stay away until the next meal. If I get hungry before meals I drink water or a protein drink.
