I had my third fill yesterday morning. Of course after my fill I only drank liquids....SF Latte and SF Lemonaid. No problems. Last night before bed I drank a few swallows of lemonaid and had the "stuck" sensation, mouth watering etc. but it went away fairly quickly, no vomiting. This morning, I couldn't drink lemonaid or Water without that feeling. But SF Latte went down fine.

After my first two fills, I felt no different. (No restriction, no weight loss, etc. after first two fills) But I immediatley new that I had restriction after about 2 hours from the fill yesterday AM.

This afternoon I ate a small container of SF Jello, no problem. I can drink, but very slowly and it feels like I swallow a lot of air (not using a straw). I don't know how to not swallow air??? Is this what restriction feels like? I am excited (hoping my weight loss will really begin now) and ok with it, just wondering if it will loosen a bit over the next few weeks. Is this what restriction feels like? or is it too much? I haven't tried anything other than about 1/4 cup of broth and the jello, they went down fine, it is the drinking of water and lemonaid that I feel the "air" or what feels like "air".

Hope all of this made sense. Any response would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks, I think I will try all of those things. My aunt has some papaya enzymes, I may have to get those from her if it doesn't get better soon!

Thanks, I will let you know how I'm doing.

Ok yes do let me know...and I know it hurts but it will pass. Good luck!

Just wanted to update you.

The pain didn't get any better through the night so I called my doctor. I went in at 10:00 this morning and he completely unfilled me so that I could rehydrate and he will do another fill a week from Monday. Hopefully close to where I was....I hated that part because that was the first time I had really felt restriction...but NOTHING is worth that kind of pain for that long! I am feeling much better, just a little sore throat from vomiting.

I was so thirsty by the time they unfilled me that I drank a ton of Water immediatley. I had never been that thirsty before.

Any way, thanks for all of your help and support. I am feeling 100% better. I'm already looking foward to next Monday so that I can get hopefully a good fill without being too tight!!!! I am so ready to start seeing some weight loss!!!

Wow you have a great doc! :smile2:

I'm glad you're feeling better; it's scary how quickly we can get dehydrated, isn't it? That was my big worry; when someone can't keep his/her own saliva down, things are going to go south really fast.

This week will fly by and it's safest in the long run!

:thumbup:Thanks again for everything! Especially the encouraging words!:tongue2:
