I had my second fill a week ago. Down another 2 pounds this week. Still working to get to my "sweet spot". I think I might actually be filled too much right now. I'm having problems getting my protein down, getting stuck.

Excellent!! I was banded in June. I lost 10 pounds the first two weeks after surgery. I haven't lost a pound since. My first fill is next Thursday. I'm eating real food now, but often have pain - like the food is stuck. I'm worried that the pain will get even worse after my first fill. I was expecting more of a "full" feeling rather than straight out pain when eating. Is the pain due to recovery from surgery or is this what having a Band is about?

I am also having the same types of pain, banded on the 8th. I don't even want to drink anything, when I do it feels like there is a big air bubble keeping the liquid from going down. Today is Sunday, I'll call my doctor Monday morning. Hopefully this isn't how I'm going to feel forever.
