Restrition....and then none...but also some good news!

So I went a few weeks ago and got a fill. It took about a week to "kick in" and that lasted for about a week and now Im back to feeling like im not having any restriction. Its such a roller coaster. I get so excited when I do feel the restriction and can notice that Im eating less and feeling full. Then out of no where I notice the restriction is gone again. This happens everytime I get a fill. I feel it for a few days and get soooooo excited and then I notice its gone! Can anyone explain this to me or have had the same situation? Now onto a happy note! For the past year I havent been working or at school and pretty much sat for a year ( yea I know, but when depression gets ahold of you sometimes its hard to get out of the funk!) Well I started going back to school about 3 weeks ago. Its soooooo much easier to be on an eatinch schedule when you actually have a schedule. I got to school monday thru friday. Also my campus is HUGE! So I am walking all day long it takes me about 10 minutes just to get to my first class from the parking lot. Also I am taking the stairs everyday at school instead of the elevator. I have also been drinking 4 bottles of water a day with is really really big for me because I hate water. I have lost 10 pounds in these 3 weeks of school!!! which is very exciting. Im getting my gym membership this week and am going to start swimming. Any Ideas on healthy snacks I can bring to school?  I really hope to figure out whats going on with my restriction issue. If I get the restriction plus all this moving around im doing I really think the weight will come off for me this time!

Hi Amber,

How many fills have you had? 

Sometimes it takes 4 or 5 before you start get any real restriction and then it could take a couple more to tweak your fill level.

Hope this helps,
