How funny. I just came home and started my period. I bet this is due to water weight gain. I am going to wait and see if it gets better before I remove any fluid.

Thanks everyone. Do you think if i sip on water for a while it will get better? I did get stuck this weekend so it could be swollen maybe. Thank you!

Hi all. I was filled 1-2 weeks ago and everything was fine. Then all of a sudden this weekend it became hard to eat and drink. My throat keeps gurgling with liquids and i can eat very little. Is it possible it suddenly could be tighter? I am confused. Last night i woke up with acid reflux as well. A lot of gurgling and burping too. Please respond. Thank you.

Thank you everyone so much for posting responses. I went to another fill doctor and she said there is no way I could have an allergen 4cc and she said that is not possible because they do mot make a 4cc band. She filled me with 5 cc's and said I most likely have a ten. I called Mexico and they again said it was a 4cc band but then someone called me back and said it is a 10 cc. Huge relief. So now I am feeling a bit more restricted but go back on the fifteenth for a follow up. I am a little bummed that I spent 200 dollars on the first fill that did really nothing, but I am just glad I know now.

Sorry. I post from my phone so I have not had a chance to fill out my profile. I got banded in Mexico on August 18th. I have another appointment scheduled 11/2 for another fill if needed. Thank you.

Hello all. I got 2 cc in my 4 cc band two days ago and do not have the restriction I was hoping for. I am worried. Has anyone else had the same with 4 cc band?

Thank you Sue! I will give it a couple days.

Hi all. I was banded 8/18 and have been on track with recovery. However, for some reason today and yesterday, anytime I lift my arms over my head I feel a sharp pain in my lower abdomen on my left side. Has anyones else had this?

This made me cry. So beautiful.

I was banded August 18th. I am now on mushies and have been having on and off days. Today I ate a ton of mushies without restriction in the evening. I know I need to get back on track, but I just need to hear from others. Did you experience this? Does it get better on solids and after first fill? I am getting down on myself for not being stronger. Do the mushies just go right down like liquid?

Thank you everyone. I liked feeling muscles a little sore today.

Thank you everyone. I liked feeling muscles a little sore today.

Thank you everyone for your advice! Today went so good! I had under 1100 calories and ate half cup about every two hours. Feel so much better than yesterday

Also.. i wrote the calories on every portion and journaled it in a notebook. Made it easy to monitor what I was doing.

I was starting to fall off track too and went out yesterday and bought half cup portions for my food. I am on mushies and put it all in the containers. Today at work i made sure to eat only every two hours or so, half cup portion every time- and I stayed under 1100 calories. Yesterday I was feeling horrible about myself but today i started fresh and feel proud again. I still thought about food a lot but two hours was not that long so I could wait and drink water. It is never too late to start again. You can do it!
