Fill Question

[mersaydes1 9]

I had a last Friday 2/15 . 5 which took me to 7. I was fine all weekend but then Monday I felt like it may be 2 tight. I did Protein Shakes for 4 days instead of 2 then soft foods for 2 , normal diet now. I have lost 12 lbs since Friday 2/15 . Is it normal to fill to tight not until 2 days after the fill??

Sounds like you are close to the green zone. And thats a good size weight loss. Everytime I get a fill, I usually for 2-3 days or so, go to liquids until I get use to the band in a nw fill state. I'm sure your stomach feels tightness around it and the nerves send messages to our brain. Check with your doctor's office on your question. They are the experts that you are payng.

Also when you first hit that tightness it's weird And foreign so you have to get used to it. You HAVE to take the small bites and chew and sip not gulp. Yes it's normal to adjust different a few days later. If your able to get down all you say you can your prob in the green zone finally. Just take it slow an watch the lbs come off!!! ))

I will never forget when I hit it after I had been on liquids for a few days and progressed to tuna. Didn't chew it enough and had that first stuck feel. Tried to "wash it down with water". BIG MISTAKE.

That was after my third full. That's why they progress you slow. You have to get used to it and learn how to eat.

I was also doing well with fills until I hit about 6.5cc's.

Was doing great until about a week later then I couldn't keep anything down.

Went back and as soon as she put the needle in an air bubble came out. Well we kindda laughed about it. Went back the next month and she put 1/2 cc in and doing fine now.

Good luck to you
