Might be too tight

It has been a week since my second fill giving me 7.5 cc. I have had close calls every day with getting stuck or very nearly stuck even while being extremely careful and chewing to liquid. I have also lost about 10 pounds in the last week as well. It takes me about 45 minutes to eat even the smallest portion. It does seem that the restriction opens a bit after I have eaten a couple of bites. I feel that I am getting better at pacing and being careful and did not get stuck at all today whereas I have had at least a small incident of getting stuck each day since last Monday.:smile:

8 Month Update

I am almost 8 months post-op and have lost 40 lbs. While that is about an average of 5 lbs per month, I have only lost 3 lbs in the last two months. Received my second fill today putting my band up to 7.5 cc (it was 7 before today). As a result I was unable to eat any chicken for supper tonight and had to deal with being "stuck" for the last couple of hours. When I thought things were clear I tried an Unjury shake but kept backing up that too. Will try to do just liquids for the next two or three days and then try adding more solids slowly. Hopefully this fill will prove safe and successful.
