I am too tight, i know i am , i am sliming and pbing at least once a day, however the weight is coming off at a good 2-3 lbs a week clip and i dont want to give that up.

I have a very hard time eating, so i know im not getting in enough of what i need to.. but like i said its hard to go back and get an unfill when the weight is coming off..

I guess my question - how do you tell the difference between being too tight and not taking small enough bite and chewing enough.. maybe thats my problem ?!?!?

so confusing lol...

the upside 9 months out and down 70lbs. thats almost 8lbs a month 7.7 to be exact :smile2:.. with 7 weeks not losing anything because i needed a fill big time.

It will get looser over time. If you are going to stay so tight you really have to use caution like chewing well.

If you have trouble with meat you have to suppliment the Protein quite a bit.

When I got my last fill, I thought it was too tight, but i'm feeling hungry all the time, and i can get in a lot of food it seems (I chew it up well). Am I chewing too much?

What types of foods are typical at this point?

Erika, I don't think you are chewing too much. It just sounds like you are not at your sweet spot yet. They include some fat between your stomach and the band too. When that fat shrinks your restriction fades. That might be part of it. I just think you are simply not at your sweet spot yet.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
