Jachut 487 Posted February 11, 2007 This is a normal cycle, I've been the same, get a fill, drop a bit of weight quickly, drop a tiny bit more then maintain till next fill. But over time, as I've approached perfect restriction (not there yet, groan, 14 months down the track, I dont think I'll ever get there) the fills last longer. Its taken 3 months for me to get hungrier this time, not 3 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisabethsew 50 Posted February 11, 2007 I'm going in for another fill on Tuesday and can relate to what you're experiencing. Because of the high volume of patients, I wait 6-8 weeks for a fill appointment. This time, the restriction was perfect for a few weeks and then slacked off. Regardless of what my level of restriction is, I stay on a healthy diet and don't allow myself to "pig out" or go crazy. For me, that sets off a chain reaction that can last days. Try joining one of the challenges to help stay motivated on on tract when you're waiting for a fill. Also, try taking up a hobby. If you're doing something with your hands, they can't pick up food! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariecarmen 1 Posted February 11, 2007 Try making a monthly appointment with your doctor. You can always cancel if you feel your restriction is sufficient. But you have the security of knowing if you need to see him/her the date isn't too far off. I make mine while I'm writing out my copay check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
