I had a very good answer from the fill nurse when I asked whether I needed a fill or not and if so how much. Her answer was getting more fill is not going to make you loose weight. The goal post is to have a fill that allows you to eat solid food by chewing it thoroughly and you are not hungry for 3 hours. You should have protein every three hours. If you are hungry after eating then a small fill would be required starting at 1/4 cc.
I now believe that I am just a slow looser (64 years old) and I am not an exercise guru. I like to exercise but not to the point of exhaustion 7 days a week. To me that is just not fun. So I will be content with my 1/2 lb per week. Doddie
