Green Zone Or To Tight?

[brokenwings 98]

I had my band adjusted on the 17th since then i can only take a few bites of anything. If i take more then that i end up throwing up. I am losing about 1/2 a lb of weight a day. I am so happy with the weight loss but i am also concerned i am to tight. I even have to be careful when i drink as well I cant gulp only sip. I do hope that it just means i have hit the green zone.

So, it's been almost a month since you fill. How's it going now?

Hey Jules

Gosh missed seeing you on here. I am doing some better. I just have to be careful what i eat and how much i eat. If i eat something fast or to much it dont stay down. If i eat something that i cant tolerate then it starts me throwing up and it keeps up till i am clear. But as long as i follow the rules and eat slow and stop the first min i feel full and dont eat things with alot of bread etc... I do ok. I have lost 10 lbs since i had my fill.

hi how do you feel now, i just had a fill on 11/20 and almost in your situation. Can eat no more than 1/4 of cup at a time-very slowly and carefully.

I do ok as long as i keep in mind small amounts and stop .. I still get sick if i dont do that. I am almost never hungry. Still eat things just cause i want them. Something to keep working on

Hey Deb! How ya doing now? Still feel restriction? Still losing?

[brokenwings 98]

Hi yea i am still losing slower now then i was. I still feel very restricted at times still to restricted. I can almost not eat of a morning. I tend to just drink a cup of coffee. Glad your doing so well.

hi I am experiencing the same kind of thing. my last fill was 2 months ago. I felt restriction but not a great amount. ive now lost 52lb and my band feels tighter. I can only eat Soup, porridge or mashed foods. im just wondering if its possible that the more weight you lose the tightness of the band can increase? seems strange to me.. would appreciate your thoughts on this, thanks x

I have not experienced that. But i did have a fill bout 2 mos ago and just NOW got where i can eat much of anything. I am due to go back to the dr this month but unless i change my mind don't believe i will be getting a fill. I am ok with getting sick often but it really upsets my daughter that i eat then have to run to throw up. I do contiune to slowly to lose weight. I just thought its been 8 mos since i had my band placed I was sure i would be at the 80 lb lost mark now but instead i am at 66 lbs lost. Which is alot better then i was a yr ago. I think i really need to focus not so much on my goal of loss per month but on the total goal. I am a much thinner person then i was when i started on this journey.
