Too tight?

[meggie0413 6]

A week ago today I had my third fill (7.5cc in a 10cc band). I am able to keep liquids and some solid foods down. However, I have thrown up many foods I think I should be able to eat, (dark meat chicken, egg whites, etc.) and I am chewing my food completely / taking small bites.

Like I said, I am keeping down some things. And I had been successful with the previous fill. I have lost 46 lbs since my surgery in March.

But has anyone else experienced this after a fill? Did it get better and you adjusted to the "new normal" or should I consider having some saline removed?

It's a gray area. Because you can eat some food and have no problems with liquids, some would say learn to adjust without the things you can eat. Others would say you're too tight.

Personally, I'd get some Fluid removed. Just a tiny little bit might make a huge difference. I got my band to live healthy and enjoy food in moderation. If I couldn't eat a whole a list of foods, especially healthy ones, for me it would be totally counter productive.

I'd talk to your doctor and let him help you decide.
