It is due to the amount I eat----protein [meat] is the best to make you feel full. Selim says 4 oz. every 2-4 hours. Yes, I really believe in the 3rd fill...

Marty- I'm so glad the 3rd fill is working for you, but if food takes that long to go down, what about liquids (water)? Are you able to get all the water down...
