What does restriction feel like?

I have a sense of pressure behind my breastbone today, one day after my second fill.

I didnt start feeling restriction until I hit the 3.5 cc mark. You will start to feel that the food u once ate at a normal sitting can no longer be tolerated. The food goes down more slowly and if you dont chew it completely, like we were directed pre/post op, the food gets stuck and then you feel the pain in the middle of the back and pressure in the middle of the chest area (I refer to this as distress) and feel the need to figure out ways to ease the pain i.e. sitting up straight, having someone gently pat on the back, or walking around/pacing (major distress) until u start salivating and then eventually vomit.

But the food seems to go down much more slowly than before.
