I appreciate the advice.. really nice (and very helpful!!!) of you. Hope you're doing ok.. I noticed less than 6 kilos for you left to lose, how exciting!! You will be at goal weight in time for your wedding. Brilliant!! Hey Em,

You sound like you are focused and ready to tackle the next push. And you will do it :) Can I ask some advice please? I have hit that stage where my restriction has really kicked in.. I mean really!! I can drink water just fine... but I am finding solid food a bit of a push. I had two eggs with a little bit of ham this morning (I just wanted all protein no carbs) and though it went down.. it was sitting heavy. I guess this means what- ever I THINK I can eat I should about halve it? And for lunch I had sardines and tomato on a cruskit. I PB's a bit and could only eat one and felt it sitting heavy on my chest for about a half hour. Is this normal? My question is (I'm getting there lol) If I am having trouble with these kinds of foods, what SHOULD I eat. I'm a little puzzled as to what else might go down. Thanks Em. And keep going.......you're doing amazingly!!! I love this list!!! You sound like you are focused and ready to tackle the next push. And you will do it :)

Trust your doctor's advice. He's probably gotten a lot of people to their sweet spot. 2. Don't worry so much about the number. It's not an exact science and the way your organs sit in your body can shift a bit as you lose weight. At a later date, you might need even more of a fill. Or maybe another unfill. 3. Ask for a barium swallow if you're worried about it being too tight. Your doc can use that to make sure there is restriction with a small amount of flow-through before you leave the office, if he has the tools in house. Three things;
