Got my 2nd fill today, 1.5cc. Feels really tight now, Yay! Trying to drink protein drink right now and can only take small sips. Fill went much better than last time, doctor hit the port with 1 stick, and stick was less painful, Yay again! I've lost so far 22lbs since 8/17/10 and I think this band is really working for me

I also got my 2nd fill today. It feels tight. At the doctors office I could drink water, now I have to sip slowly. How would I know if it is too tight?

You're supposed to sip slowly at first, getting the band adjusted causes your stomach to swell a little but it goes down in a couple of days, that's why you have to go back to liquids for 2 days, then mushies for 2 days. If the water goes down after a couple of seconds you are just right, if it sticks in your throat and won't go down it's too tight. Sounds like you are just right, I'm only sipping also, took me 5 hours yesterday to finish 10oz protein shake. Today I'm working on my cup of coffee, have had about 6oz since 7am.
