For me...its slow, slow, slow.  

Its like a roller coaster. I get my fill and im riding high for two weeks...then bam...Im down in the dumps.

I'll get my 4th fill on Monday...so I'll be riding high on Tuesday. Hopefully restriction will stick around this time.

You are doing great!!

I got a fill today!  They found another .5cc that they didn't know I had.  The same PA that unfilled me .5cc did it today.  She said it is a vacuum system and the fuller it get she said the easier to get it all out.  So I had 6cc and not 5.5 and now have 6.5cc.

I think the fill was to much!  I will be going in on Monday to get some taken back out.

HEY! Im still here. Glad your unfill went well and you broke your stall

I had my 4th fill yesterday. Im not sure about it....maybe too tight, but it usually takes me about two days to get used to everything.

The Surgeon did my fill this time instead of the PA. I think he was concerned about my slow loss and decided to fill 'er up. He kept addind saline until the saline pushed back into the syringe, then pulled back some. So...I think Im as full as I can get.

I drank water, it went down ok...like usual. Then on the ride home...about 20 minutes later it felt like it wanted to come back up. Im an hour and a half away from the dr. Maybe I should have turned around...I dunno. When I got home I had some onion beef broth. I thought something warm would be nice. I drank half of it.

This morning I got down one cup of coffee. Then tried an Atkins shake. I SLOWLY got down half, but after a while...I PBd. That cant be good to PB liquid.

Im usually tight, then loosen when I get a fill. It doesnt take me two weeks to feel my fill. Maybe the shake was too cold? Im going to stay on liquids and hold out until tomorrow before I make the call...unless I NEED to put a call in today.

Hope you are doing well!

Yep, you got too much.  You sound like what I just went thru.  I put it off from Wed to Sat.  Once it started swelling it just got worse.  No way should you be pbing on liquids.  If you posted this on the band board, Jean would be all over you!

Im feeling better today. Taking it slow. I have been able to keep down liquids and I even had a SF pudding cup and now im almost thru a Power Bar. Whoo-hoo. Taking it slow though.

Maybe i'll try some more solid protein tonight. Its Girls Night Dinner. Mexican. Im thinking of a beef taco, side of beans and guacamole. pour out the taco onto the beans then add the guac...YUM. I'll eat really slow then take the rest home.

Sounds like a plan.  Let me know how it goes.  Maybe I should have toughed it out.
