2.9cc - 4th & hopefully last fill!

[Jessiebear 2]

At least for a long while I hope! I had pretty decent restriction with my third fill but still felt like I needed a little more. So he gave me 0.4cc more today. He sat me up & had me drink Water & I could tell a difference. Then when I was wheeled out to the recovery room I was still drinking water & I almost made him take some out! LOL!! I told him that the water wasn't going down. He tilted my cup over & looked at me & proceeded to tell me to quit gulping my water! LOL!! I have not had this much restriction since immediately after surgery! After I thought about what he said I started grinning & said, " So this is what real restriction feels like?" He laughed. So I decided to live with it for a couple of days & see how it goes. I'm not too tight. I ate cream of broccoli Soup & it went through, but with RESTRICTION!!! Finally! I'm full!!!!

Ooo Ooo I hope I feel like that next week. I go in for my fourth fill too...I can still eat alot and gulp Water. Congrats on the restriction!

[Jessiebear 2]

Good luck Kristi! It's actually kinda scarry. I have never had restriction like this. But finally, I eat about 1/2 cup of Soup & I'm full!

i hope it is the same for me too. my doctor did the same and when i hit that point your talking about i said it was too tight and he pulled some out, i think it was because that was the weirdest feeling and it felt almost like i couldn't swollow but now i think that was my sweet spot, i am going for a fourth fill late feb. so now do you have a full feeling for alot longer too ?? i get really bad hunger pains still after 3-4 hours and i swear my food closet can talk and i hear it calling me, lol

I've never posted a message ...do I just click on 'new thread'? Anyway,

do you think if I get a fill, this would help prevent me from eating ice cream?

I've gained weight on those scrumptious malts! Thanks for any reply!

Ice cream goes down no matter how tight your fill is. DON'T EAT ICE CREAM!! Sorry, I have had the same problem, but with chocolate. I can eat loads of chocolate with no restriction.

Step away from the ICE CREAM & CHOCOLATE!! They are NOT your friends.

I do stay full longer! Right now I'm doing liquid Breakfast. I have always been tighter in the mornings. Then Soup for lunch, & tonight will be my first night on regular food so we'll see. Although I did cheat last night & have a couple of bites of red Beans & rice & it went down fine. It just filled me up so quick. It is scarry. Food has always been my comfort. Now it can't be. Good luck oh2bthin!

Jessie by the way what size is you band I have a 4cc and I am currently filled to 1.9ccs. I think I need about a little more then I will be there.

[Jessiebear 2]

I have the 10cm band & it holds up to 4cc. He said I am really tight. So far so good! But if I think I am too tight later, I will get a smalll unfill. My fills usually start out really tight & then loosen up in a week or two.

Dee Dee, I just went for my second fill today, its at 1.6cc, I have a 4cc band too. I don't think it is tight enough. He didn't want to give me more, he thought I would need to be on liquids? ???. I had chicken salad and felt like I could eat more but stopped (6-8 crackers with chickensaladabout 1.5 hours long). Do you ever feel like right after surgery? Do you stop when you think its enough, because I didn't feel full, I feel something but not sure what exactly. I am having a hard time knowing what is full and what isn't I guess. I just thought I would feel like after the surgery?? Thanks for info

I have 2.2cc in a 10CM/4CC band. It's the first time I've felt anything at all restriction wise. I think I'll go for another .2cc in a couple of weeks. But of course I still have to be backwards from everyone else: I'm tighter at night than during the day. I am SO not complaining though, night eating isn't going to be much of an issue anymore.
