Too tight, or just not used to it?



Recommended Posts

Hi. I was banded 7/06, had my first fill (1cc) 2 months ago, and now my second fill a couple of days ago (2.5-3cc md is unsure?). Since that time I have felt as though liquids go down slowly and i'm having a hard time eating solids even with chewing VERY carefully. They don't necessarily come back up but they sit there and hurt. Soup is fine, and mushies seem to sit for a while but then go. Anything else and I'm miserable. Am I too full or just not used to this thing?

I would give it a few days since you are not PBing. Why not have a day of liquids and then 2 days of mushies. Give everything a rest. Then start back with solid foods, but slowly. After each fill things change. If you can't eat solids after all of that you might be slightly too filled.

Good luck

is the pain at the band entrance ie: in your chest area of restriction or is it in your stomach/navel area?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
