Hi all! I hope y'all had a Merry Christmas! I just need to vent a little bit, and I have a question! First of all, whoever invented Christmas cookies HATES me! lol I consider them my Achilles heel! I can say no to chocolate, gummies...etc, but one bite of a sugar Christmas cookie and I'm done for! I can't get enough of them! They are like a drug! Luckily, Christmas is over and my direct acces to these sugary treats is waning! Anyway I just wanted to confess that I ate WAY to much and I feel terrible :thumbup:. This brings up my question. I got my third fill about a week ago, and at first I felt extremely restricted...but the last couple days, I feel like I have been able to eat way too much...has anyone else experienced this? A lot of restriction and then very little? Do I need to go back and get another fill? Or should the restriction come back?

It's not necessarily that you're losing restriction, so much as you're adjusting to it. It could be you're just accustomed to it now. Keep in mind it will be easy to get down the bad foods, like cookies. Be sure you follow the plan with your proteins and vegetables and consume the amount directed by your doctor. It isn't unusual for you to feel less restricted after a while. You'll just get another fill when you need it. Don't give into it though. Make sure you stay on plan and don't overeat. You'd hate to have your hard work slip away because you're able to eat more.....

After a fill I can feel my restriction immediately. After about 2 weeks I start to get "loser". This was typical for me until I hit that perfect amount and didn't loosen up much after that. Everyone is different. My sister can't feel her fill until about the 2nd week after her fill. This just means you probably need to get another fill when your doctor allows it.

I ate too much yesterday....but not as much as I use to! And no matter how tight I feel, cookies go down smooth. That is why I don't buy them and I didn't make any for Christmas.

Thank you!! :hurray:
