Delayed Restriction/So THIS is restriction

[globally yours 0]

Hi Everyone

Had the strangest thing happen. Two weeks ago, had a fill, bring me to 7ccs in my 14 APL. I´ve been fluctuating a lot, scale not really moving, but trying my best to keep a good attitude.

Thursday (two weeks to the day) I fixed scrambled eggs for Breakfast, took two bites and had that awful in your chest feeling. Thought that is strange. Went about my business, PBed :eek:

We had friends in from Colorado, went to lunch, two bites of chicken, and the same thing all over. At dinner I had about a cup of white chili. It´s like the fill just really kicked in!

Did some research and called my nurse, and she said you are not going crazy, this sometimes happens, and they aren´t really sure why. She had even called teh company in the past, and they aren´t certain either.

So, I´m now eating 1/2 C of food, and feeling VERY full afterwards. I cannot wait to get on the scale this week. Maybe I FINALLY have good restrction!:cool2:

I am so glad you reached a good fill level for you. I am not sure if I am at a good level or not. Some days, it's like I have no band at all. Other days, I can only get some things down sometimes. I really have to concentrate to find out what kind of a day I am having.

CONGRATS AGAIN!

Thank you! It is definitely a new experience for sure. Hoping it will last.

Glad to hear from you!

I just had a fill yesterday and I'm now at 7 cc's in a 10 cc Realize Band. I'm going to do liquids for two wks because my weight loss has come to a screeching HALT. So this fill should help me do that. congrats on losing 77 lbs.

Hi everyone, I am due for a fill tommorrow, however, i'm debating whether to get one or not. Has anyone experienced that when it's real cold outside your band seems to tighten . . or is it just me. Is it possible that after 2 months since my last fill I'm starting to feel restriction?

Hi Everyone

Not checked in for awhile. Been super busy, hopefully that will change soon.

But I´ve been a good girl doing my exercises, and got another fill the other day taking me to 8.4 in a 14cc band. Lost 5 pounds since then!

This is a new experience, in that I´m super tight, and REALLY have to watch what I´m doing. In the morning I do my Protein shake, for lunch cottage cheese, and then by evening I can eat something with a bit more substance.

Hoping this will be a good spot for me to loose. I´m ALMOST half way to what I want to lose.
