What happened to it????

[Kathy473 1]

Ok guys....had a fill on 07-12-06 and I went from 1.7cc to 2.2cc...saw the restriction...did the liquids/soft diet for 48 hours and then slowly started back on solids like fish, chicken, veggies. I have been good to my fill but it's gone! I went to dinner last night and had an avocado-crab salad w/pico on top...no bread and iced tea (didn't drink the whole time I was eating)...I was able to eat almost the whole thing!!!!!!! No problem...it went down real easy. What is up with that???? I am confused. :eek: This is the most I have been filled but I feel like I can eat more than I did before. Anyone?

Same thing happened to me as well. It did level out over time though. I'm not certain, but I think that some swelling might occur just after the fill, that goes down after a couple of days. Give it a few days and see if things don't seem better. I know that there are times when I feel wide open and then other times very restricted.

As Jack says, the band is a fickle bitch. *snicker*

I have had 2 fills and I don't think I ever swelled, but I do feel small restriction in the AM, I don't feel like I need to eat, lol. I feel like I can be a garbage can at times, lol. I am getting a fill this week. Give it some time because I didn't notice the slight restriction for a few weeks after my last fill.

Good luck

I am having the same problem. So far I have had 3 fills. The first one I felt no restriction, the second some restriction for about a week, the third good restriction for 1 week or so and now I can eat almost anything in any amount so long as I chew. I only feel restriction if I don't chew well or if I swallow too big of a bite. I am not sure if I should try another fill or what. So far I am pretty disapointed.

Could be what you were eating as well. Perhaps try something more solid, like chicken breast, well chewed, to see if you notice any more restriction with 'harder' Protein. Sometimes, if I mix my textures - such as with salads, I can definitely eat more at a sitting than if I began with a chicken breast, then moved on to something like veggies. Just a thought..

It definately is not food choice, because I try to stick to hard Proteins like steak and chicken and have no problem eating a lot as long as I chew. Actually, the occassional bread or potatoes I seem to feel more.
