Hi Banders,

I've heard of fills feeling less tight after they "settle in" a few weeks after adjustment. But my band feels tighter than it did right after my second fill two weeks ago. It's harder for me to eat solid Protein for Breakfast and yesterday I barely got three small bites of a pork chop down at dinner and felt it immediately.

I know mornings and meats like pork are common for banders to feel more restriction. I'm just puzzled because right after the fill I didn't notice this.

Also, certain foods just go right down, like salads and bread and I tried popcorn too. I need to watch out that they don't become sliders for me.

After this fill two weeks ago I thought I'd need a third one in July at my next appointment. But now I'm thinking I need to live with this level for a bit.

I don't want to count my chickens before they're hatched, but could I be hovering around my green zone so soon?

I will say I've been under a crapload of emotional stress this week. Is that a real factor?

I stay satisfied for close to 4 hours and I don't snack.

Thoughts?

I got a fill on the 30th of May. I didn't feel much till about 4-5 days in and it seems to get tighter each day. I had two stuck episodes just today. Loooonnng episodes. And it's mostly mornings. I'm eating much less now too. All in all I'm happy with it. I just need to pay closer attention to those bite sizes and how quickly I eat.
