Hi Gretchen!!!

Don't give up girl! You can do it!! Remember, it's a slow and steady race, but persistence wins! I also felt restriciton at the beginning of my fill, then it would loosen up on me too. I just had my 2nd fill last Monday. I can definitely feel it now and even had a "stuck" episode...man that hurt! I felt like I didn't do very well with my first fill. I lost 5 lbs. in 5 weeks. But my doctor told me that was actually really good for a first fill and that ideally for me, 1 lb. a week is optimal. The amount you lose depends on your beginning weight of course, so the more you weigh, the more you lose. Anyway, I have days where I think this is too slow for me too! But then I remember that I wasn't doing very well without it, so just hang in there! How much total have you lost? I have lost 22-23 lbs. so far...and still counting! I will be here if you need to talk again!!
