5th fill (had a hard time with the 4th)

[eslmn1 0]

I am going for my 5th fill tomorrow and had a rough time with my 4th. (Dr put in 2.5cc,.5cc,.5cc,.5cc) I am not sure if it was the fill or me to tell the truth. I wound up having about half my meals where I had to run to the bathroom and spit up my food. I believe that this is what people call PBing....the food doesnt go down and I just need to burp and spit it out. Not real fun and I am not sure how "dangerous" this is either. This was even worse when i ate dry foods (at a business function with a very dry piece of chicken breast, I had to run out of the room when the president of my company was talking). That being said, I have resorted to a few bad habbits 1) Ice Cream 2) Mainly eating Soups. I still have lost weight this month but most of it came while I was on liquids for the first days after my fill. I am thinking it is me and not the band due to the fact that I can chug a 20 ouce bottle of Vitamin Water. In the last week, it seems that most restriction has left and I am in need of a fill(tomorrow). I would rather not throw up (or PB) the way that I did this last month. Suggestions would greatly be appreciated (yes, I know going overboard on ice cream is not going to help my case)

BTW- getting the band is still a huge victory. I am down 70Lbs since two weeks before my surgery on Sep 4th (I am a male that started at 322Lbs)

Thanks

Eric

You kinda sound like me. I think I need a fill because If I eat slow and chew I can eat more than a cup of food but if I eat just a little too fast or the wrong food I PB every time. DONT eat anything dry and chew very well and eat slower and see how that works. Im 5 months into this and still eat way to fast. When will I learn LOL

I am scared of throwing up if I have this done. My mom had bypass surgery 20 years ago and she can't eat without throwing up. She has kept her weight off and seems to be healthy. Any answers for not throwing up?
