Hi -- Glad things are going good for you. I just got out of the 190's myself (187.8 this morning), so we're right there together. This was my third fill and it made a lot of difference in my hunger, although I'm pleased that I'm not "strangulated" either. My first two fills were fairly shortlived, but that was okay by me.

I don't have problems getting my protein in. I think it's important for a while to track your protein grams, along with calories. You need to get at least 60 in, depending upon your activity level, up to 80ish. My protein during the day consists of egg whites and cheese in the morning, FF refried beans, tuna, almonds, and then at night, fish, chicken, or turkey. If I'm short (like on mushy days right after a fill), I'll have my super protein whey shot, which has 26 grams of protein!! Holy moly - I love that it has so much. But I only do that when I need that big boost of protein.

Good luck to you!!
