I was wondering if I need another fill. I feel like I have no restriction unless I take a big bite of something. food and drinks go down fine. I am starting to graze.

I had wonderful restriction 2 months ago. One day I decided to take a bite of my daughter's salad and ended up with a piece of lettuce stuck. Becoming nausous for several days until I had Fluid taken out. Now I am stuck a my current weight, not losing, not gaining.

Before, I was barely able to get food down, needing to eat very slowly. Only being able to drink coffee or hot liquids until around 2pm. Then I would eat a healthy dinner.

Now I am getting hungry about 2 hours after having my morning coffee. I had a fill last Wednesday, should I give it more time or make another appt next week. My doctor allows us to go every two weeks if we need to.

I want to get another fill, just worried that I will go back to having issues with it hurting. My first anniversary is March 24th. I wanted to get this right before then. I am down 55 lbs since last March.

Some people have a delayed reaction of up to two weeks after a fill before they feel the effects. If you can cancel the appointment on short notice, then make it, but be willing to cancel if you start feeling the fill.

Thank you. Sounds like a good idea. After my post, I had dinner. An hour later I was hungry. Or at least it seemed that way. So I had a few wheat crackers.

I just seem to be stuck on weight loss and afraid that if I have more put in that it will close up on me again.

Calling today to schedule and putting myself back on a liquid diet today...starting over.

My surgeon said he'd prefer I sneak up on my green zone with more smaller fills than having a big one then unfilling, then another big one, then unfilling.

That said, I was overfilled once. Not fun. I got an unfill of half the fill I had put in. Instant relief. A month later I was able to go in and get that replaced plus more. Go figure!

Bands are our fickle friends sometimes. You just need to be open to NOT getting a fill, or just a teensy to off.

Woke up this morning only able to drink coffee. Two hour to the dot I wanted food. Drank water, waited and it went away. Rest of the day went smoothly.

Made the appt. Going to wait and see if I really need to go Wednesday.

Just want it right. Discouraging not seeing the scale drop and fight the urge to eat.

I haven't been getting notifications of responses to threads, and my content disappeared...did you get a fill?

Many of us are tight in the mornings. I sip my coffee on the way to work in the morning and eat a little bit a couple hours later. I start work at 6:30 am. I eat lunch around 11, that is generally my largest meal. I get home around 4, have a snack, then dinner around 6.

Sometimes I get hungry between meals. If I am truly hungry, I'll eat. Sometimes, I have to fight it off, realizing it is not physical hunger. For me, one of my tests is that I ask myself if I would eat green Beans right now. If the answer is yes, then I am most likely physically hungry. If the answer is no, then it is probably head hunger.

Sorry for the delay. Have not really been on the computer lately. I waited until this past Wednesday before I rcvd my fill. Fill much better. Still stuck at my current weight. Unable to lose anything. Frustrating. Of course...I have been TESTING my children's valentines candy. So...that could be the problem. So happy it is gone. Every few weeks I get in a slump and have to start over with fluids.
