everything i eat hurts me i just dont like the way food feels in my stomach anymore..and i throw it up i cant deal with that pain feeling in my belly and it radiates to my back..i thought i would just feel full alll the time but im starving and i have had several fills and been too tight and had a few unfills.. i have a 10 cc band with 5cc in it now ...6cc was to much i could actually feel the band squeezing my stomach and it hurt ..icouldnt even drink water ..so i think my restriction is ok .not everything i eat cookies always go down fine:sad:
