Since last posting I have been back for a fill 6/6 1.5cc taking me to 4.5cc and for the last 2 weeks my weight has yet again plateaued with no change at all. Well not helped by being the end of the teaching year and a whole pile of functions to attend so I guess no gain was really good. My doctor however was not so happy with the last 2 weeks and yesterday (21 June) added another 1.5cc taking me to 6cc.

Water sipped in the surgery and then the mandatory 2 glasses of water within 30 mins .. no problems so duly travelled the 1.5 hour journey back to the city where I live. Collapsed into bed only to wake at midnight with an uncomfortable feeling in the chest... mmm I thought. Maybe just overtired .. roll over and back to sleep.

Morning brought a lovely sunny day with a blue sky .. and ... an attempt to drink a protein shake. Attempt.. yes attempt. 4 hours late only half down, lots of hiccups and foaming. No - not sliming - foaming. A search on the forums and the question raised.. is the band too tight?

Difficulty in getting water down is not so good when

it is 50 degrees celcius outside. Things had been going so smoothly to date.. no pain, no discomfort and food relatively easy to manage albeit in reduced quantities.

Now the big question.. should I ride it out for another day or should I try and get an appointment and have a defill...

I will give it a few more hours and see how I go.
