Awesome update. I'm going to add you on myfitnesspal. I'm super interested in seeing your food logs. Are you in the green zone with 8.6ccs? Oh' date=' I'm tentseven on MFP![/quote']

Yes I think I'm in the green zone now. I was planning on asking for an un- fill at my next appointment, however, I think I hit the green zone and I might have swelled up to the point of temporary discomfort and too much restriction. It's been a week since the last fill and the restriction has gone down. It's not as difficult to eat or swallow as it was for several days following that fill. I think I'm just going to enjoy this restriction and call this my green zone. For months I've wondered how I would be able to tell when I'm in the green zone. Trial and error!

Yeah..I'm not there yet. I thought I was, but it was just those first days after a fill tightness. Ive only had 2 so Lie you said...trial and eror. I'm going to urge my doc to do a full cc this next fill. He wants to go .5 each month from here on out.

Charles...how did you determine your caloric needs for MFP?

Myfitnesspal automatically determines your caloric needs when you enter your age, gender, and weight. Once you enter your personal info it calculates your needs. Every time you weigh, adjust your personal info again by entering "today's weight". Every 10 pounds you lose it'll ask you if you want it to automatically re-calculate your nutritional needs.

Since July, I'm down another 10 lbs. total is 90 pounds lost in 4 1/2 months. Wonder if I can lose another 10 in 6 weeks?? 100 pounds in just my first six months would be amazing.

That's Awesome Charles! I seem to be at a standstill on the scale but the inches have dropped.!!

Heck yes, 100 pounds would be amazing.

Jenni30...I hear you! I'm at 40 pounds lost currently and it feels like I'm pulling teeth to eek out each pound. The last fill FINALLY has created some restriction...I have to take food very slow. I'm hoping that will help kick start some weight loss.
