2nd fill different type of question

[luvliquid 0]

Im getting my second fill on Monday. I have a drop restriction now but still eat a lot and not loosing weight. My question is do you have to diet or just eat regular food less and you will still loose weight? If I get to the dr monday and havent lost anything will she be mad?

TIA

If you take in less calories than you need each day, you'll lose. Whether you are formally "dieting" or eating less of "regular" food, the bottom line is less calories than you need = body burns stored fat for energy. It's important to get enough Protein, so most docs tell us to eat Protein first. However, you need to do what works for you. Some bandsters use sites like "the daily plate" to keep track of every bite and watch it closely, others eat what their families etc eat but keep it to 1/2 - 1 cup per meal. Some snack, my doctor says snacking is totally forbidden. In other words, it's your tool. You need to use it in a way that works for you, so that you will lose.

As to whether your doc will get mad or not well that depends on your doc. I gained from surgery to my 1st fill an mine wasn't mad at all.
