Is it usual to be at 8.5 after first fill. What should I expect?

Not normal if there is such a thing as normal? Just pay attention to chewing a lot and eating slow with small bites. It's so early after surgery you may miss the satiety signals?

If you feel a lump under your breastplate, stop eating till it goes away. It's the beginning of a stuck and or slime episode. Let's hope you don't experience this but so much saline in such a short time?

Seems like you got 7cc's at surgery. That seems like a lot when some doc's don't even give any. I got 2 cc's and 19 months later I have only 5.5 as 6 was too tight and I slimmed and coughed all the time (not a good thing to do in public).
