I will be 7 weeks on Thursday. I had my first fill on Wednesday. 4cc in a 14cc band. Up until last night I felt nothing and I don't think I have any restriction. However, last night I had a handful of chips right before I went to bed. I was way below my calorie intake so I didn't think it was a big deal. Well, I couldn't fall asleep cause it was like they were just sitting in the back of my throat and my chest was uncomfortable. I felt fine today but I am wondering if that is what restriction feels like.

Wow! You have lost 51 since surgery? What are you eating? Getting jealous.

52grams??!!! WOW! Where do they sell that

When I've got stuck its a feeling like just below the breast area in the middle. It feels like I have a rock trying to pass through the band. Sometimes it has passed through and feels like a sharp pain, when it won't it comes right back up but that isn't painful, just unpleasant. But it does leave you irritated after the episode and then you just stick to liquids then soft foods till it all settles, usually a day or two if its a real bad episode. Just have to be mindful of bite sizes and chewing all the time and it is pain free to eat.
Some advice eat without distraction, small bits of food and chew well. I just needed a good couple if episodes to learn my lesson, mine happened because of distraction. Now my meal time is always distraction free, the world can wait for fifteen to twenty minutes for me to eat.
It will happen right away too.

Thank You all for your advice and words of wisdom! You have made me feel so much better. I know I can do this, I was just scared by all of the information I heard yesterday. Do I want to be able to pig out on any and every thing I used to? No but I want to be able to eat healthy but be able to still have things like that on occasion, when its a holiday or a Birthday or something. And my husband and I are in love with each other, we are best friends, sole mates. SO I do believe that we will be fine. Thank you so much for all your help. :-)

Just stay intouch with your nutritionist. Don't listen to everything you hear. If you have your husbands support, then you have the best support there is. I don't believe that your losing weight will cause you to divorce, because if your husband is on board with this and you have no ideas about leaving him, then i believe that your losing weight will make your relationship stronger.
Whenever we try to better ourselves, satan always devises a plan to plant doubt in our minds that cause us to think the worse. I know that some of the things you heard frighten you but don't let that stop you from doing something that will help you make yourself potentially better.
Call on your Father and ask Him to help you discern fact from fiction and to give you the courage to do what's best for you according to His will and His plan for your life.
I wish you the best.
