Im wondering if there is anyone out there at good restriction at only 5cc... i kept reading everyone needing to get to 6-7 sometimes 9 and here i am at restriction at 5cc.. I wonder if it will stay this way?? Or will I need to get a fill at some point again....

I am new here (been lurking for months, but this is my 1st post). I jsut had to reply to this post though.

I had my surgery Sept 1, 2009, so I am almost 7 months out. I have not had ANY fills to this point and am down 105 lbs to date. I have PLENTY of restriction, trust me. I had some drama about 4 months post op and had to have my port removed (due to an absess around the part area), so I don't even have a way to have a fill. My dr says he has had a couple of patients that have gone 6+ months before their 1st fill, but they had not lost as much as me. So we are in no hurry to put the port back in.

Just had to put my 2 cents in.

Went for a fill four days ago started with 3.7 and have total of 5cc today. I am way to tight I have to eat soup for breakfast lunch and supper. I have tried to eat other things like pringles chips they go down good i have had a very thin slice cheese.I tried spaggetti with meat sauce and it kept slimming up and felt the tight feeling in my chest. So then I just stuck with potato soup which goes down just fine. I sure hope it losens up soon. How long do you guys have to wait till you can eat solids after a good fill??
