I have the 10cc band got my first fill in July 2cc and my tube contacting the port had .8cc, this time I got 1.4cc. I am trying to take it easy usually when it comes to eating soft foods, but I really wanted some meat, so I grab a slice of lunch meat, (ham), I didn't chew that well and that was my frist true experience of getting something stuck.OUCH it was so painful. I even fill alittle sore in the tummy! Who else has experienced that?????:thumbup:

I had an issue after my 2nd fill. I have a 10CC band (I believe) and they put in 2 CC on my first fill and 1 CC on my second fill. I ate something the day after my fill and didn't feel great, I felt ok, but not great, that was a Thurs night/Fri. On Saturday, I couldn't eat more then 3 bites of solid food w/out having pain and then throwing up. I spoke w/my surgeon's nurse on Monday and she agreed w/me that my band was too tight... So I went in and he took out 1/2 CC, and I was fine.. it's not an exact science... so that could be the problem. I go for my 3rd fill on Sept 9th. Wish me luck!

Falafel's don't like me any more :-( I just had lunch with some friends from out of town, and I should have gone with my first instinct, grilled chicken and pasta with feta cheese, but ordered just an appetiser knowing I'd never make a dent in the pasta dish, but I could only get down 1.5 falafel's - they were just too dry eventhough I dipped them. I thought I'd be able to chew them enough... BUT I'm so happy that the band is working like it should and I didn't actually get STUCK in front of them!

thanks everyone! I am eating slower more than just slip food like soup and yogurt, but small bites and chewing. Still hungry but PMS right now and always hungry more then:unsure: anyways.
