So today is my 7 week anniversary since I had my Plication. BEST CHOICE I HAVE MADE IN MY LIFE. Since 9/5 i am down 51lbs and am feeling great. I am out of my 40 day meal plan and am working in sensible meals throughout the day. Usually a protein shake in the morning, a greek yogurt for my morning break, a small protein based lunch, and a well balanced dinner. Two things that I have found a little difficult is knowing the difference between a thirst hunger and a real hunger. More times then not, I'm thirsty. Second is eating too quickly and feeling that full feeling hit me like a brick. I have to consciously eat slower so I can recognize when I'm getting full. It really doesn't take much to fill you up after the surgery. All in all it's been a great 7 weeks. Hope everyone else is seeing the results of this life changing procedure.
