Too tight?

I received my 3rd fill yesterday and I am up to 7cc's in my 10 cc band. Now before I was pregnant I was at 7.3cc's but now... I know I am supposed to do the star diet for 1 day after a fill than soft foods the next than back to regular foods, But I tried to eat a yogurt and it kinda uncomfterable, feels like it sits right in my chest. Does this mean I am too tight or do you think I should give myself a few days to adjust to my band and see what happens when I get to try regular foods.  I can get liquids down ok- if i don't chug... What do you think? I would hate to go the weekend too tight.

I'm not sure because I don't have a band, but from what I've heard, it's pretty normal after a fill to have a little swelling that can make eating uncomfortable for a few days. I'd post on the band forum and see what they say, and if it's not better in a few days, call your doc!

Give it a day or so, I just got a fill and I've been feeling the same way with yogurt... but then again I've had trouble eating it before this fill too. Try taking smaller bites and waiting a few min in between bites, becauce it could be the consistancy of the yogurt that is tough for your body. If it keeps it up or if you feel stuck with thicker foods when you go back to your regular diet call ur Dr. and you might need to get half a cc or a 1/4th cc taken out. Good luck!

I just got my first fill since having my baby and I got 2.5cc's taken out when I was 11 weeks pregnant and she put back in 2 cc's and I was TIGHT but after 3-4 days I could eat again but not like I could before at the same cc (hope this makes sense).  Its amazing how my body has changed and the same cc amount can be so different before and after my pregnancy.  I say give it some time! Good Luck on losing your baby weight...I am SO ready to be back to my pre-baby body!
