Restriction?

Just had my first fill on Wednesday. (4cc in 10cc band) By Thursday was able to eat a normal/large pita sandwich. On Saturday, food seemed to get "stuck" after the first few bites, but then after some air burps was able to eat "normally" again, w/o much restriction...is this "stuck" feeling = the restriction everyone keeps talking about or what? I am so confused...

Thanks for any advice!! :)

It is hard to say.... I have had 3 fills and each time I feel restriction immediately after but it takes about 2 days to fully feel the result of the fill. If you get what I call "peanut Butter" stuck in the throat feeling it could mean you need to chew more or eat slower. Try eating extremely slow and chew really well.... if you still feel the stuck feeling after a few bites then welcome to restriction. =) FYI - For me if I hiccup then it is my body telling me I am done. If I take just one more bite after a hiccup the food will come back up.

To me, restriction is two things: being limited on how much you can eat and staying satisfied longer. I didn't experience both kinds until after my second fill. I have even more now after my third fill and I hope it lasts. :)
