Fifth Fill

I finally bit the bullet and had my fifth fill yesterday. My last fill was almost 2 1/2 months ago and I had good restriction for maybe a month of that. I didn't want to get another fill because I was worried about being too tight. I also thought I could just do it on my own and stick to one cup of food. Uh, hello? Isn't that why I got the band? I've been able to eat pretty much everything and it's very difficult to exercise restraint when I was still hungry after my meals.

My clinic doesn't tell me how much of  a fill they're giving or how much I have in my band because they've found that people get fixated on the number. I have a pretty good idea though as I've been keeping track and can figure it out based on how much liquid is in the syringe (aren't I clever ;)). I'm somewhere between 6.75 & 7ccs in my 10 cc band. I'm already feeling the difference.

Have a fantastic weekend!
