Very little restriction at 3.5 cc's! What's going on?

[RainInSpain 0]

32 hours after my 3rd fill to 3.5 cc's, and I just ate 1/2 cup chicken Soup (with noodles) like it was nothing!

Honestly, I have experienced very little restriction thus far. None of the problems swallowing or keeping food down, as others have reported. And I'm hungry ALL the time, even just a few hours after a substantial Protein meal.

My doc always said 4cc's was the max you could go in a 4 cc band. I'm glad to know you can potentially put more Fluid in there, but can't understand why there is so much conflicting information on the subject.

Your feedback is much appreciated - I am feeling very confused and worried.:help:

chicken noodle Soup isn't exactly the way to tell if you are restricted. Try some real Protein like chicken, pork, fish etc. Soup will go right through the band, protein won't.

I agree with Betty, chcken noodles Soup is going to go through really easily- solid food is what we are supposed to aim for- chew and swallow carfully though - you could get a surprise! Good luck
