It has been a rough 9 days but I'm finally feeling a little relief! My 2nd fill was 6/2 with 3cc. I've got a total of about 6cc in a standard band now. The first fill was no difference at all, just noticed a few things getting stuck here and there. Lost only 1# that month.

Since fill #2 I've lost 9lbs in 9 days! I know,I know.. not supposed to loose that fast but I had a really hard time with that 2nd fill. I was only able to tolerate hot and thin liquids for about 8 days. Last night, I took 2 bites of turkey spaghetti with lots of sauce. Started to slime a little, but managed to keep it down!

This morning I started out with my coffee then moved on to my carnation instant breakfast with warm milk and went down really well. I waited about 30 minutes and made myself some runny oatmeal. I could only eat about 1/4 cup...but it stayed down! Yeah!:crying:

At lunch I started out drinking a bottle of K2O protein water while making myself some tuna salad. I took about 4 small bites of the tuna salad and started to slime again. So I waited about 10 minutes for the feeling to pass then ate about 4 more bites. That was about 2 hours ago and I'm still feeling full and most importantly I haven't thrown up!

I've talked to my Dr. office several times over the past week, but he has wanted me to wait for another week to see if I loosen up any. Apparently, he's had a couple of patients who get much tighter during their menstrual cycle. As luck would have it, I started mine 2 days after that 2nd fill. Now this is my 2nd day past that so apparently I'm another one of those people who will be extremely restricted for about 1 week per month!

I'm just totally in shock about how very little I can eat. I still struggle with head hunger and see people eating things that I wish I could have but know good and well what it will do to me, so I don't! I worry too about getting my protein in, because of how very little I can eat. I've had about 27 grams today and still need to get to at least 59.
