Do I need a fill??



Recommended Posts

Hi all - I love my band and have great results. The main issue I have now is to fill or not to fill. Right now, I have never PB'd and I have only occasionally gotten that stuck feeling, which goes away pretty quickly (well, it doesn't FEEL quick!). So the issue is that I can easily eat more than the 1 cup the doctors advise me to eat. I am good about not eating a lot, but I would say I generally eat about 1 and 1/2 cup to 2 cups of food per meal. So I would normally think get a fill, right? But at the same time, I don't get hungry between meals, I often could even skip meals without feeling hungry, I'm not uncomfortable ever after eating the larger amount, things still sometimes feel stuck and I'm still losing weight at a steady and comfortable rate. So then I wonder if I should just not rock the boat - if I get another fill, will it lead to more problems? And I've been at this same fill amount for about 4 or 5 months.

So do I go with the I'm eating a bit too much and try to get a small fill? Or do I go with the All the other issues (feeling comfortably full and still losing weight) and let it be for now?

Thanks for any advice you guys can give me!!

If that were me, I wouldn't rock the boat. You sound like you are doing fine. I probably wouldn't consider a fill unless the weight loss stops or you start getting hungry before it is time to eat again.

Don't rock the boat baby,. Don't tip the boat over. (you know the tune and the song. It is running through my head right now.) IMHO I think you are doing great. I would stay where I am at if your still losing and are not hungry. Sounds like your doing an awesome job. Good luck.:scared2:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
