eating the wrong things

[mnsmith 0]

Well, since my last fill of 1 more cc(5 cc's total) I seem to have more trouble eating. This in turn has me eating things I am not supposed to. meats do not seem to go down, but all the things bad for you go down much better. I am trying to mentally tell me eat the right things, but they just have trouble going down. Even soft eggs and sometimes even Protein Shakes have trouble. Ice cream, puddings reeses Peanut Butter cups- no trouble. Am I too tight or what.

Yes I would say you are too tight. You don't want to only be able to eat slider foods as they will make you put on weight and start off a vicious cycle(you will think you need to be tighter etc)

The band is designed to work with real foods such as solid Protein. If you can't eat these then you are probably too tight. Don't be scared of going back to get a small amount of fill out. Often just the tiniest amount is required and you will be amazed at how much better you will feel.

eggs are not a great indicator of tightness. I would say most people can not do eggs. They for most people are not band friendly.

Replace the pudding with yogurt. Try different meats. I found pulled pork worked better than ground beef. Shredded chicken worked better than other chicken. Use lots of sauce, and precut your chicken so you don't take a huge bite by accident.

Same issue here. Just after my fill I was back to normal. I was feeling restriction and not hungry often. Now a week later I can't get hardly anything down. Mostly back on mushies. It's like I'm tighter than right after the fill. It's good b/c I'm not starving or anything but I want more options for meals.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
