Hi All, I was banded Jan 11, 2006 and have lost 35 lbs. as of this week. I am not so hungry any more, but after my last fill, (8 weeks ago), I have a hard time eating any meat and most food that is not soft. I eat refried Beans, with fat free sour cream, low fat cottage cheese, fat free yogurt, egg whites or egg salad. Of course, I have been dring ice Water, or diet iced tea. I have not had soda since January. When I eat meat or regular salad etc., I get PB's really bad and have to stop to spit up. This hurts too much to do every meal.

Went to Dr. Pohl Friday and he said my band may be too tight. I have to go for x-rays to find out. candy goes down fine--that is so wrong.

You are probably too tight. Better to get a slight unfill, and eat real food. It is important to find that balance between speedy weight loss and healthy weight loss. Better to err on the side of health and patience, than speed.

Get it checked out, and make your decision based on long-term health.
