OK got a fill on January 26th. This gave me a total of 2.2cc in a 4cc band. I felt restriction but nothing major. Have had a couple of minor episodes of PB about 2 days after the fill but nothing since till a week ago. Now I have MAJOR restriction. I have a hard time eating mushie foods sometimes. I can't eat hardly any meats unless they are like liquid before swallowing. (Sorry for the grossness but hey,...) I ate 7 cheetos, yes 7 the other day and was FULL to the brink of PBing. I did not drink anything while eating the cheetos. I let them melt in my mouth too.

Other than the high restriction I am doing great. I just wonder if all the rainy weather might make the restriction so high? Anyone else experience this phenom? If not do any of you think I might be too tight? And what gives with it waiting till NOW to let me know I am too tight? It has almost been 4 weeks now.

I am not complaining too much cause I am eating less but don't wanna hurt myself if I am too tight.

blossom,

the advice that someone gave to me when i was to tight and asking if i should get an unfill that made up my mind as to what to do was........

what advice would i give someone if i was responding to a post

i CLEARLY in a second would have said get an unfill...so i called and got one.

its your choice and only you know what kind of restriction you are having. we all gave our 2 cents and now its up to you to decide whats best for you and your band!

Just got back from getting an unfill. He took out a half cc. I think that was too much because I can guzzle water now.

Blossom - A lot of people can still guzzle water, but can't eat the hard protein very well. The real test is with the food and not the liquids. I have always been able to guzzle the water. I hope it goes well for you!

Thanks, Betty! I guess I will find out in a couple of days how the hard protien goes down. I'm on liquids for 2 days.

I am glad you are doing the liquids for a couple of days to heal up. Hopefully you will still be at your sweet spot when you start the protien.

Yes Bllossom I can guzzle water but I just ate 2 little pieces of popcorn chicken and can feel the restriction, Betty is right. The true test is when you eat your hard solid proteins. The half cc is gone is going to atleast help you get in your liquids. I'm gladyou went in for an unfill you did the right thing Blossom...
