Anyone not feel restriction yet?

I'm glad to see all the responses to my thread. I am still not feeling the restriction. I just got another fill two days ago and am at 7cc in my 10cc band. I have been on liquids for the past two days and decided to stay on for a few more days just to get a jump-start on the weight loss. I gues once I really eat a piece of chicken or something I will know for sure if I am restricted but the liquids are just sailing down! I guess 7ccs is pretty aggresive compared to what some people are getting. I will update when I eat real food again. Fingers crossed that I will finally feel it!

My doctor makes sure you have restriction everytime he does a fill. So I hate to hear your dont have restriction. That sucks.

I am lucky to have an agressive doctor.

I do want to let you guys know that I think I am feeling some restriction! I have had a few times when I swallow some chicken (maybe I didn't chew enough) where I feel like it is having a hard time passing. It hurts going down. This is not all food, just meat and big chunks of things. I think I am the only person who is happy to get something stuck! It proves to me that restriction is on the way. I am thinking for my next fill maybe I should ask for only .50 cc intsead of the whole 1cc he usually does. Anyway, just wanted to tell you guys that I am somewhat relieved and to hang in there!
