Yes, it was a big help for me to get out of some bad habits that I had slipped into.

Mainly I thought of doing it at first because I wasn't sure whether I should get another fill or not. I was on a long plateau and felt that I was able to eat bigger portions. So what it did was helped me lose 4 pounds in a week, which is unheard of for me, and it got me back into eating my healthy protein. I think it also shrunk my pouch a bit so my portion sizes went down without me feeling deprived.

I'm doing it again this week as I fell off the wagon completely over Christmas and have had a hard time getting back on again. That was mostly because after it taking so long for the weight to come off, five pounds went on over one week at Christmas and I was being good! So I went into a "why am I bothering" mood and I've now come to my senses.
