Is it just me or...?

I've had 2 fills my 3rd is this comming friday... I am quite sure I need another one im at 5 1/2 ccs in a 9 cc band and I am quite restricted... not so much with liquids but definitely with solids... but what ive noticed.. regardless of texture, consistancy or temperature... i do fine the odd day when i can eat a fair amount more than i can the majority of the time... is anyone else experiencing this? or is it just me?

sorry missed a word... i am quite sure i DONT need another fill ... another tick in the blonde moment column

Nope, it's not just you. Some people have increased restriction when they fly, some are increased in the AM, some are increased when it's their time of the month, etc. Our bodies are composed largely of water so it's natural to feel "looser" on some days and tight on others. Just another quirk of the band.

ah that makes sense... i do notice that in the morning i cant eat much at all and by evening a very mini meal... but what had made me kinda wonder is that yesterday right from morning tilll evening i could eat almost twice what i normally can on most days

You are not unique in that sense. I just had my 3rd fill, and am feeling good restriction, but it varies.

For me, mine gets tighter when I am stressed out. I am also a bit tighter right after I get up in the morning. There are other times I am just tighter for whatever reason.
