Sweet Spot?!?!?! I hope!

Well, I had my third fill on November 21st. The doctor took out all of my fluid, then filled it up to where I couldn't drink water. Then he took some out. I couldn't drink anything at 2.6 ccs. He brought it down to 2.1 to stay. I feel quite a bit of restriction. I'm still hungry between meals, but not as much as before. I have no idea if this means I need another fill or not. It's only been a few days and, in the past, it seems I get a bit more restriction as time goes by for the first couple of weeks. I hope this is the case.

I immediately began losing weight again though. Five pounds since last Wednesday. It's hard not to overdo it. You get in the habit of eating! I'm doing MUCH better on taking smaller bites though. Less sliming and throwing up recently. YAY! Finally!

I want to add exercise soon, but I live in the mountains and am only home when it's dark and unsafe to be outside. Our treadmill has a loose belt (can you replace just the belt or do you need a new treadmill??), so I can't use it. I'm finding it hard to DO something. Hopefully I'll get an exercise bike soon and I can use it in the afternoons.

Good Luck to all!

I've had 7 fills, recently had to have an unfill because I got too tight - long story. lol. My point I wanted to make is the last fill I had, it took about 3 weeks and suddenly I had great restriction. So give it some time. If you are eating 2 to 3 oz of lean protein and a few veggies and are staying satisfied for a minimum of 3 to 4 hours, you are at your sweet spot. Best wishes!
