How much can you eat? I posted on Wednesday saying that I didn't think I needed a fill. Went to my dr on Thursday and he agreed, but said that in a week or so he thinks I will change my mind. Since then I have been pretty hungry, but now sure how to gage if I am eating enough or too much. I was banded on 9/16.

For dinner, I ate at Cheddars and had the lunch portion of the salmon which was a small piece. I ate half of the fish, most of my green Beans, and half of the mashed potatoes. I just got home and ate a cookie. Is half of a lunch portion a normal amount to eat? I am stuffed right now and wish I had not eaten the cookie :confused: .

For lunch I had some turkey lunch meat, a few whole wheat crackers, and a cheese stick. I was hungry about an hour later and ate a banana.

Some ppl might not agree, but it sounds like you are eating normal amounts. Are you still losing wt? If you are happy with your wt loss I wouldn't get a fill yet.

Best wishes,

The problem is being hungry an hour later. Maybe even a small fill would help so you don't get hungry so soon after you eat.

i agree. just last week i was debating wether or not i needed a fill. I Just didnt feel out of control in my eating and there were many times had to stop and slow down. Soo I began to question well how much is to much? but yesterday i ate more then today hmm.

True you'll have different eating days but i think the biggest tell tells if your eating or getting hungry before u hit the 4 hr mark. 1 hr later if ur legitamtly hungry after feeling "full" then a smidgen fill can make the world of difference.

I actualy got a .1 fill last week when i felt it wasnt really neccesery but it actualy delayed my eating in the am.

slow and steady wins this race it seems!

no need to get stuck episodes etc.. if u feel like your getting hunry and you'll know what "eating more" is for you.. then get a fill if not feel it out..

gl..

funny thing is im the one usualy askign the questions..

I definately need a fill. I was a bottomless pit yesterday, never getting full. I had made cookies to take to church and then forgot to take them and I had several. I am going to call the dr today!
