Chelleanne 1 Posted May 16, 2006 I just got my second fill (now at 1.8cc) last Wednesday and it seems that each time I eat I end up PBing a portion of it. It comes up without any effort. I am wondering if this is normal. I am not able to eat much of anything that is solid without feeling like it's stuck. The only relief I get is when I PB. I've lost 6 lbs in 6 days. I am fearful that my body is getting used to PBing and expects it after eating. Any thoughts? Am I too tight?

Marimaru 7 Posted May 16, 2006 You are either too tight, or you are eating things that your body can't tolerate that your current fill level. Alternately, you may need to eat slower and chew more than you were before. There is definately a learning curve with fills that increase restriction, but you should not PB after every meal (ideally, you shouldn't ever, but it's gonna happen). So, I would say to evaluate what you are eating, how fast, etc, and if none of that seems to be the problem, you definately need some of your fill removed.

CCBSTX 0 Posted May 22, 2006 Hope you are doing better tolerating your fill or have a slight unfill already! Let us know, how you're doing? Shawn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nana~ 4 Posted May 22, 2006 Consult your Dr. let us know what he says, what kind of things are you trying to eat? Maybe you need to go on liquids a day or two to let your tummy swelling go down then try again on eatting? just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelleanne 1 Posted May 23, 2006 Well, for some reason now I can eat more and am not PBing. Does that mean I've lost some of my fill? Just when I finally thought I had a good restriction. What happens to the fills? I don't want to have to go get a fill once a month. Any thoughts? Michelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malice X Girl 0 Posted May 24, 2006 carefull...you if you PB alot it can cause your pouch to stretch thereby losing restriction. On another note when you lose weight you lose restriciton...both has happened to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
