Is This Normal???

I had my surgery done 3 mths ago. My last fill was 3 weeks ago and I finally noticed restriction. However, the day before yesterday I noticed I could suddenly eat quite a bit more than I had been eating. I thought maybe it was normal for that to happen from time to time but yesterday all day the same thing. Breakfast, lunch and dinner I was able to eat almost as normal as usual before the fill. What could this be? Did it slip? Is it leaking? Is this normal?

Normal. I find that happens a lot and it means it's time for a fill. I get fills every 4 weeks. The way the doctor explained it to me is that you lose weight around your stomach muscle therefore you stomach's belt (lapband) needs to be tightened again.

Just don't go over you cup of food and stick it out until your next fill, if that is to far away call the doctors office and get it moved up. It may also help to eat more high Protein and high Fiber foods right now to help you stay full longer.
