Fills And Restriction??

[TriciaLN 177]

I just had my 4th fill a week ago which puts me at a total of 6.5 cc's in my 14cc band. It seems like the 1st week after a fill I feel a little restriction, but it quickly fades by the next week. Is that a normal feeling?? My doc said it was, but I have yet to hear of anyone else saying they feel the same way. I'm going into the 2nd week (my doc gives fills every 2 weeks until you feel restriciton) and already I am starting to notice it again. I loved how I felt this past week and believed I was in the "green zone" or almost there, but now I'm not so sure. Is there anyone else out there experiencing the same thing?

Very normal. The first few days after a fill you are swollen, that's why doctors have you do luquids & mushies.

You will get there, it's frustrating i know, but well worth it.

Good luck.

I feel the sam way I have a 10 cc bnd and 6 cc in it first wk i perect after that no so good . My doctor seems a bit tight with him Water (lol) says as long as you are lossing your ok. I really like feeling the restricktion it helps me learn what and how to eat and reminds me when I go back to the old ways.

advange fill seems to be just over /2 way for most people I think 1/2 cc more for me would do it.

Before I got close to the Green Zone, it was very normal. I'd be all "Oh yay this is great!" the first week, and by day 10, I was starving every couple hours again.

It's frustrating, I know. The good news is, once you finally have adequate Fluid in your band there will come a point that "Oh yay!" feeling doesn't go away.

Thanks for the replies!! Glad to hear that it really is normal and that the "oh yay" feeling will one day stay!!!
