Oh great, now I'm getting tighter right before my fill

Well last night was the first night in two weeks I felt any restriction while eating dinner. Unfortunately today is my second fill. I hope this up and down nature of restriction is too much to deal with long term.

 

I also think that a lot of my weight gain was from eating soup at the hotel restaurant last week. I think this because in the two days since I got back I dropped 3lbs? That has to be water weight, so I'm thinking the soup had a lot of MSG in it or something?

 

I say all of this because it could be that the MSG also was making me retain water and making my restriction less? It could all be related?

 

I am predicting a .5cc fill today? I know I am still not at as good of a point as I was a week after my surgery, so I know I'm really not to the sweet spot right now.

I find it takes about 7-14 days for my fills to really kick in. I don't schedule them any closer than 4 weeks apart.

Well, I was very very loose. Heck I took 1cc just to get back the restriction I had after the last fill.

Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks it will continue to work. I won't be going back for 4 weeks after this one, so here is hoping for a good 4 weeks. If everything goes well, I should lose 10lbs this month.

So far so good. I'm down to one cup of food again. It also seems to be more consistent between morning and evening now. I have no clue why that would be, but it works great.
