I had my third fill yesterday morning. Of course after my fill I only drank liquids....SF Latte and SF Lemonaid. No problems. Last night before bed I drank a few swallows of lemonaid and had the "stuck" sensation, mouth watering etc. but it went away fairly quickly, no vomiting. This morning, I couldn't drink lemonaid or Water without that feeling. But SF Latte went down fine. After my first two fills, I felt no different. (No restriction, no weight loss, etc. after first two fills) But I immediatley new that I had restriction after about 2 hours from the fill yesterday AM. This afternoon I ate a small container of SF Jello, no problem. I can drink, but very slowly and it feels like I swallow a lot of air (not using a straw). I don't know how to not swallow air??? Is this what restriction feels like? I am excited (hoping my weight loss will really begin now) and ok with it, just wondering if it will loosen a bit over the next few weeks. Is this what restriction feels like? or is it too much? I haven't tried anything other than about 1/4 cup of broth and the jello, they went down fine, it is the drinking of water and lemonaid that I feel the "air" or what feels like "air". Hope all of this made sense. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks,

:thumbup:Thanks again for everything! Especially the encouraging words!:tongue2:

Just wanted to update you. The pain didn't get any better through the night so I called my doctor. I went in at 10:00 this morning and he completely unfilled me so that I could rehydrate and he will do another fill a week from Monday. Hopefully close to where I was....I hated that part because that was the first time I had really felt restriction...but NOTHING is worth that kind of pain for that long! I am feeling much better, just a little sore throat from vomiting. I was so thirsty by the time they unfilled me that I drank a ton of Water immediatley. I had never been that thirsty before. Any way, thanks for all of your help and support. I am feeling 100% better. I'm already looking foward to next Monday so that I can get hopefully a good fill without being too tight!!!! I am so ready to start seeing some weight loss!!!

Thanks, I think I will try all of those things. My aunt has some papaya enzymes, I may have to get those from her if it doesn't get better soon! Thanks, I will let you know how I'm doing.

I'm not really that thirst, just terrified and miserable! I keep coughing up slime and it is gross and hurts and then the pressure remains! I am assuming eventually I will cough up or PB what ever is stuck or it will pass through? I think I will wait to sip on anything until this feeling has passed. I am even spittin out the spit from my mouth watering...that pre-throwing up mouth watering...sorry, I don't mean to be grosss..I just want to make sure that this is normal....somewhat! LOL

Thanks again...one more question..do I sip on Water now or wait until the pressure is completely gone before I try to get any liquids down? (I too love disney...I am taking my parents the second week of August....its going to be hot...but at least we will be at Disney!)

Thanks for the quick reply! I just "coughed" up some more slime....didn't appear to be anything in it though...I have done that several time...and I am terrified of my band slipping...this is the first time anything like this has happened. After I coughed up some this last time, some of the pressure has eased and is more tolerable. My mouth is not watering like iit has been for the last hour or so either...hopefully that is a good sign. No more anything for me tonight. I will try small sips of Water tomorrow and do only Clear liquids tomorrow and Sunday I'm sure. Would prefer NOT to go to ER unless it is unavoidable. I really don't want to go back to the doctor unless I absolutely have to because I'm scared he will completely unfill me....and he will only do fills every 6 weeks. But I will before I continue to feel like this!! Talk about miserable! Thanks for replying to me so quickly. I am trying to not "freak" out since I know stress can make my band even tighter!

I had about 1/4 cup of gumbo rue (thick broth) and about 1/8 of the inside of a small crab cake (very mushy....but maybe my mushy was actually packy?) All that came up when I PBed....at least I think it did. After I PBed I felt much better.....but then I took a few sips of Water and I feel the same way again....but the only thing that comes up is slime/clear liquid... Anything I can do to get this feeling out of my chest?

Thanks for the replies. I don't think I got enough liquids in today, but probably close. This evening I PBed for the first time, most of what I PBed was slime...is that normal? Also, it feels like there is still somthing stuck...now I understand the slime thing! How long after you PB before you feel better and how long until you can drink something.
