Is my band too tight?

Hi all As u know i had my first fill yesterday and was given 5ccs which seemed like a whole lot to me for a first fill. well i was on pureed yesterday and everything was going great. Today not so great... so i had b/fast, oatmeal and couldnt finish 1/2 cup and after i was done the food felt as though it was stuck in my throat or on my chest...it just felt stuck. I hit the gym and while i was working out I tried to drink water but everytime I take a mouthful i have to keep it in my mouth and sw

My first fill..,

Am i doing something wrong? or am i expecting too much too soon?

So i finally had my surgery on the first of July. I gotta say it wasnt what i expected. I was in a great deal of pain the day i left the hospital from the gas and i expected that what i didnt expect was how fast the incision pain subsides. well the doctor did mention that ill be back to normal in no time but i thought he was just saying that so i wont get too scared but Im on day 6 and im pretty much back to normal except for the itching....boy do they itch. now im in the liquid diet stage.
