I got my third fill on Thursday morning, so a little less than 48 hours ago. Did liquids for a day, that went okay. Tried a string cheese yesterday afternoon, chewed very well, but after a few bites it was obvious that it was not gonna happen, so I gave up and went back to liquids. Wake up this morning, drinking a glass of mlk but even that is kind of a struggle. Its goes down but I feel a lot of pressure in my chest while drinking it. I know that the fills can be tighter at first but then wear off some, so just wondering how long I should give it before i think about going in for a slight unfill. Thanks in advance!

If you can get liquids down, I say wait about 2 weeks. That's what I usually do. Good luck!

After one fill I remember I couldn't drink milk in the mornings anymore (don't know why!). I had a de-fill Thursday. I was getting stuck on coffee/juice in the mornings, so I knew I was too tight. If you're having trouble with liquids, don't wait too long! But otherwise, you could wait a few days to see if it "settles".

Have you tried any mushies? I would and see how that goes.

Also, I know may people who are very tight in the mornings and for that reason never actually eat food in the morning. It's a big reason many continue to have Protein shakes for Breakfast indefinitely.

You definitely don't want to be in the red zone. If I didn't see improvement by this Thursday, I'd call my doc's office on Thursday and get their opinion. It's always better safe than sorry,

I wouldnt have cold drinks like milk of a morning if you feel your band is tight, a warm drink stands more chance of relaxing the band a little , my band tightens up if i drink cold milk of a morning too so i dont

I am one of those ones that cannot drink cold liquids in the morning...It has to be coffee. I was tight with a fill one time, you will have pressure in your chest even with fluids. I waited 2 months, thinking it would get better...lost 22 lbs I finally had an unfill, it has been 6 mths since my unfill and I haven't lost a pound. I am going April 10 for one more fill...I would like to lose at least another 10 pounds before plastics in June Good luck to you!

Thanks for the tips guys! Definitely thinking temperature is an issue, not just in the morning but all day. Can get solids down okay, but a fruit smoothie is a struggle, even at 2 in the afternoon!

I just got a fill today and am having trouble with liquids. I wanted to wait and see if it loosens a little but the hiccups and foam and discomfort is becoming unbearable. I may be calling in for an unroll first thing in the morning.

Ug, I feel your pain! I was miserable. You might not need the whole thing removed; they took out .25 cc and I feel so much better!
