Is this normal?

As you guys know I have had to have a complete unfill. Went back he then put 1.5cc back in. I have had good restriction on some days not so good on others. But managed to lose back down to where I was before I was unfilled plus 2 more pounds. But now the last couple of days I have had major restriction I can barely eat and even when I sip Water it hurts but nothing that I can't handle just very uncomfortable. Yesterday I had 1 oz of steak and 3 bites of salad I got it down. I have tried Soups, oatmeal all of the soft and runny foods but they hurt also. I also have like heartburn. I know I am getting close to that time of the month and I am hoping once that comes maybe things will go back to normal. Has anyone else had this happen and what should I do? I go back to my doc on the 24th of this month.

I always get really tight right before my TOM. I was told it was due to some swelling during that time. I would recommend you wait and see what happens. I'm pretty sure that after your TOM, you'll feel much better.

I also noticed that I'm not as tight in the evening as opposed to morning. Maybe work your meals around when you feel a little looser.

Thanks Libra, I am hoping your right I really truly don't want another unfill at this point. My TOM's are so unpredicdable right now I guess from the weight loss that I never know when its going to happen. I am actually 3 weeks late (no way possible I am pregnant that was taken care of years ago) so I keep praying for the first time ever to get my monthy friend hahaha. What worries me most is the heartburn/indigestion thing going on. I have read alot about that being a symptom of slipage or some other kind of probloems.

I had my lap band 7 days ago. I am starved. I mushed up a few bites of mac-n-cheese. Am I going to be in trouble. I have a lot of shoulder pain. Any advice would be great!
