Hi everyone, I had my first fill today since Surgery August 17th. I am down 5 pounds and doing great

I had my first fill and my surgery was August 6th. I got 2cc and I am on liquids for 3 days. I have had 1 shake and onion soup broth and a cup of coffee with sugar free coffeemate and 6 glasses water so far. I feel fine as well.

I had light tomato soup and a protein shake first fill day, Sept 18. Today I will eat soup again and stay light.

I had my first fill on September 11. That day and days to follow I felt no different. Then on Monday I had made this really hearty beef barley soup, you could say stew. It was a crock pot recipe and was fabulous. I measured put my small serving and sat with hubby to eat. I toasted some bread for my hubby and tore off a very small piece. Dipped it into the remains in my bowl and thought I chewed it well. And well it happened - it was stuck. Wow, what pain. As an old habit I grabbed water, well what a mistake that was. Unfortunately it had to come up. Then tonight, while eating dinner I had the same issue with beans. I tried to analyze was I eating too quick,not chewing well or too big a bite. Not sure but again same situation. Is it possible that after a week, the fill kicked in? Guidance would be appreciated. That pain from being stuck is horrible.

I've noticed the band getting tighter after a fill. Strange but it does happen.
