is this how restriction feels?

I was banded 8-19-09, and had a 14 cc band put in. I had my first fill 9-29-09 only 1cc put in already had 5.1 cc in it. Then on 10-28-09 went for next fill and have a total of 7.6 cc in it. I had no trouble swollowing Water and ok to leave. Now that I am able to eat, I can only eat about 3 spoonfuls of food (soups, cottage cheese). I tried eating meatloaf that was very moist and after a couple bites I was so full and had to vomit. Is this normal or do you think I have to much in?

Sounds too tight. I was the same way last month. Lost 6 lbs in the 10 days I waited to get back to the Dr.

Get a slight unfill so that you can keep up the good work.

I have no idea, I'm kind of new to all of this too! I will be interested to hear what people tell you. Good luck!

My last fill was very tight. I had to extend the liquid and mushie stages, but am now doing better.

BUT.....If you continue to throw up, you are too tight. They can take out just a very tiny bit and get you to a good spot.

I am thinking you are too tight, however it may still be irritated and swullen. Did you do the post op no hot liquids thing for a day or 2 after? I have more restriction with my last fill and things I could eat are giving me a little trouble now. I would definitely get a slight unfill if it keeps up! I am sorry you are having such discomfort...keep us all posted ok :scared2:
