fill number 2(stuck food)

[komika 0]

I was banded on 7/16 and had my first official fill yesterday. I received 2.2 cc's during surgery and another 2.2 cc's in my band yesterday. A total of 4.4 cc's in a 10cc band and I finally feel a difference.

My weight has been stagnant for about 4 weeks now, so I really look forward to seeing the change. I have to do liquids for 48 hours and then mushies for 24 hours before progressing back to solid foods. I have never had a 'stuck' or 'sliming' incident, so I think that I am chewing things well. I'm terrified of getting anything stuck.

I had an issue after my 2nd fill. I have a 10CC band (I believe) and they put in 2 CC on my first fill and 1 CC on my second fill. I ate something the day after my fill and didn't feel great, I felt ok, but not great, that was a Thurs night/Fri. On Saturday, I couldn't eat more then 3 bites of solid food w/out having pain and then throwing up. I spoke w/my surgeon's nurse on Monday and she agreed w/me that my band was too tight... So I went in and he took out 1/2 CC, and I was fine.. it's not an exact science... so that could be the problem. I go for my 3rd fill on Sept 9th. Wish me luck!

Falafel's don't like me any more :-( I just had lunch with some friends from out of town, and I should have gone with my first instinct, grilled chicken and Pasta with feta cheese, but ordered just an appetiser knowing I'd never make a dent in the pasta dish, but I could only get down 1.5 falafel's - they were just too dry eventhough I dipped them. I thought I'd be able to chew them enough... BUT I'm so happy that the band is working like it should and I didn't actually get STUCK in front of them!
