Not Enough and Now Too Much!

I had my fourth fill yesterday. Before the fill, I was STARVING! Even with eating my protein I was still hungry. I could not stick to only 4 ounces 3 times a day. Luckily, I was still eating healthy so I managed to lose 3 more pounds (39 lbs, 7 weeks post-op) so I am happy about that!

Yesterday I had 1cc put in. I immediately felt tight, but thought it would still be okay, considering how not restricted I felt the week prior.

About an hour after the fill, I started having HORRIBLE acid reflux. I can drink just fine, but find myself taking very small sips. I am not hungry, so a plus there. :blink: However, not being able to sleep all night because of the reflux was not pleasant, especially since I am at work now.

Needless to say, the nurse agrees that I am now too tight and need to go for a bit of a deflation today. I am hoping that this gives me some relief, but still have some good restriction.

I just find it funny how finicky my band really must be. I never thought I would get tight enough, and now find myself too tight! :thumbup: Oh well, still would have done it all over again!
