I didn't feel restriction until my 3rd fill on July 5th, I have a 10cc band with a total of 7.5 in it now. (I had 6cc prior to July 5th) I now feel a lot of restriction... I can only eat soft foods and I am learning how much I can really eat, and that is a very small mount. When I ate today, I felt like after a few bites, the food was sitting there and wanted to come back up, so I"m thinking I tried to eat too much (and that was only like a cup of baked samon. ) good luck
