male only Over filled????

[stangslayerws6 1]

I am 18 months post op. I have lost 140 pounds so far . I have 4ccs in my 14cc band. I have always been able to eat or drink most everything since my banding. (Just very small portions and MUCH chewing) However, since my last fill in November, I have been VERY restricted. Many times I can not eat solid food at all without it coming back up. When I DO eat solid food, I can not get Water to go down even 8 hours after I eat . Milk on the other hand will go down at any time before or after I eat. Same thing with cheese. It has come to the point where I am baisically living on milk and cheese alone. Problem is, even though I am only eating like 3 slices of cheese per day, I am drinking 3/4 a gallon of whole milk each day (2400 calories per gallon :eek:). For some reason 1% & skim are like water to my band and will NOT go through. They come right back up. Has anyone else experienced this? I have never gained a single pound between fills since my surgery, but now I am feeling my jeans starting to get tight. (I do not weigh myself between fills, I dont even own a scale) I do NOT want to start gaining when I am within 50 pounds of my goal weight. Have any of you experienced this?? Is it possible that my band is OVER filled?? I am going to see my surgeon next week for my next fill. I would like to be able to eat normal food again. All replies are appreciated. Thanks

Just came accross your thread, you may well be overfilled and in starvation mode. You may need to have a bit taken out. I was too filled for 6 months, I actually had only lost 10 lbs in those 6 months and went in for a fill cam out with 1 cc less. They have new equippment and I actually could see my band working and much to my surprise it was way too tight! I was Pb a few times a week and eating more slippery foods etc. If you are not eating that your body may be thinking you are starving. I am having issues with my trainer and nutrionist at the gym increasing my food amounts. So my weight is still stable but eating more. Hopfully they are correct.

But you may be too tight.
