I went in for my second fill yesterday. I was down 8 pounds since my first fill and explained to the doctor that I have been dieting and exercising but have felt very little restriction. He wanted to put in 2cc to bring me to 7cc total. I thought that maybe I'd be ok with just 1cc because I never want to be too tight and I don't mind watching my calories to work with my band as a partner. We finally compromised at 1.5cc...

Immediately when I tried to drink the Water, he gave me, my teeny tiny sips were getting stuck and causing me great discomfort. I was so shocked! I could barely get 2 ounces of water down while sitting there and each sip was painful. I finally said I thought it was too tight and asked for some to be taken out. So he removed half of what he'd put in leaving me with .75cc.

I haven't had anything to drink yet today, but I could definitely feel some restriction yesterday with just liquids. I hope it sticks around for awhile because I don't go back in until 3/25 for another fill.

It's funny because most of the time, you don't realize there's a band in there until something like that happens. Fills are a pretty weird experience.

I know! I did not like the feeling at all. I know I will not be one of those that lives too tight. I get too much pain and discomfort and I don't like it at all!

I hate being tight. Just got a fill yesterday and I am sooo tight, having slight problems with liquids. When I say problem, it means that I can't chug liquid any more, I have to sip.
