Almost there?

I was banded in June this year and have had three fills - 3ml, 3ml and 1ml, the last being last week.

This week I have learned what restriction truely is - I've not struggled really, just made sensible food choices, and I've been fine... no bread, no chicken, nothing naughty.

However.... although I'm now on about a side plate of food each meal, I'm really hungry after 2.5 - 3 hours.

My surgeon tells me that my sweet spot should see me filled up for about 4 hours.

So if I'm finding food ok now (I struggled after 2nd fill with pbs and sliming - I guess through bad food choices) but I'm only feeling full for 2.5 hours, I guess my next fill (which I'm told will be half a ml) should see me at my sweet spot???

I have a question. WHY aren't you eating chicken? It's the highest in Protein. Higher than fish. My nut wants me to eat grilled or baked chicken everyday for at least one meal.

Because, quite simply, every time I east it, regardless of how much I chew, or how big a bite I eat, it sticks and I am faced with a night of being sick...

Everyone's different, my Nutritionist is happy with me sticking to fish, and says if I can't eat it, I shouldn't... Not everyone's the same!!!

Well, that's completely understandable. I haven't faced having that problem as yet and was curious. I thought it maybe b/c your basic diet was different than mine. Thanks for answering my question.
