3rd Fill, Lots of Restriction - water is slow to go down



Recommended Posts

I apologize if this has already been asked, I wasn't able to find it.

I had my 3rd fill this morning and went from 6 cc to 7 cc and I definately feel more restriction when drinking Water than I did on my first 2 fills. I have only had the courage to drink water and crystal light so far. I'm nervous to try Soup or a Protein Shake. Everytime I take a sip of water it stays around for a little longer than normal.

My question/concern is: Is this restriction sweet spot restriction or am I too full?

I realize that I am still probably swollen from the adjustment, but I should be able to get water down no problem even with swelling right?

Thank you for any feedback :crying:

You will know more tomorrow, but my PA didn't let me leave the office when I told her I could feel the Water going down slowly. She gives cold water so you can definitely tell where the water is. She immediately pulled out half of the fill that she put in and it was just right. Try a Protein Shake in the morning and if you have problems with that, call and try to get some taken out. You definitely don't want to be that tight.

Thank you :crying: I just don't want to be melodramatic.

Would you say you hit your sweet spot at 2ccs?

Abby, I have been at 2ccs since November. I became a little tight after my hysterectomy in December and my wreck in February. I seem to be at my sweet spot. I am now only too tight during times of high stress, like now, the end of school.:lol: Other than that, I eat 1200-1500 calories per day and I am rarely ever hungry. So, I consider that my sweet spot. I hope it lasts.:crying:

I agree with Crzytchr! I'd give it 24 hours after your fill, though, so if you had any swelling or agitation it will have "gone down". When my doc gives me a fill he thinks will restrict me, in fact, he tells me to do liquids for 2 days before advancing to mushies. I felt the Water go down at first on the last one, but I felt I was also a little nervous/excited to be FINALLY having good restriction. By the next morning and my hot coffee, it went down fine.

So just use your judgment; being tense can also cause you to be tight. You have time to get some taken out before the weekend, if you need to! :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
