Is Spitting Up And Throwing Up The Same Thing?

[kfmorris10 5]

I am on my 2nd fill and of course I can't eat half the variety of food that I was eating...I keep spitting up. SOME foods go down with no problem so I don't think my band is to tight. What do u think?

usually its just that you are not chewing enough, not taking small enough bites, and not eating slowly enough. It took me a long time to learn and it can be variable on different days and throughout the day!

As xavier said! The more restriction you get, the more you have to watch how you eat. Even take smaller bites (like cut meats to the size of a blueberry). And it's not really "throwing up" like you do when you're sick. If you notice what comes up it's just the food, and usually some slime which is saliva. You could try the papaya enzyme pills to help if you get stuck, find them in the Vitamin section.

I think you are too tight. I am at restriction and do not PB or throw up.
