So, in this journey I decided at this long awaited appointment, I would just want a 1/4cc fill. My next fill in October. I"m ready to ease into regular food ( fill was Wednesday). My surgeon thinks I could be close to zone but nay need small adjustment in next month or so. He may be right. I just don't want to be so restricted that my body doesn't take food like some on these forums. I definitely know I will have to take smaller bites and more chews. Not quite to a 6cc yet, but close. I'll see how the next few days fair for me with this adjustment. anyone going through this issue or fear of being too tight or not enough? I have option to go back before my vacation on Tuesday. Time will tell in solid food tomorrow for sure.

I got a fill on Mon. that took me to 6cc for my 10cc band. It is truly the first time I have had restriction, and it is great. Last year I got badly stuck and didn't know to rest things and continued trying to eat; I had to get an unfill. What I felt in those days following the problem was just awful, and I was worried that I had somehow gotten tighter because of heat. This so much better. I haven't had any hunger and eating everything I've tried without problems. Tonight was chicken parm with a little garlic toast.

I know just how you feel. I too don't want to have problems from getting too much in my band but want to be able to get my meals back down to a cup size.

I have 5.2 and think a couple of cc's will get me right where I need to be. I go for fill on the 13th, so will post and let ya know how it goes.

You're not alone... we are all learning together.
