sweetsuzzie1 35 Posted September 2, 2014 so lately i can really not eat much until like after 12 pm or 1. Breakfast is a no go at all i think i may be a little too tight . Sometimes lately i have issues eating and then i just won't eat . I was having some PB issues there for a while i would eat something little and yup back up it would come . I can not really eat salads anymore . My question is how do you know when your band has all the sudden gotten too tight. I do burp a lot . I guess i just need to eat slower and try to eat more frequent . i have problems with a lot of food that i am just afraid to eat in fear it will come back up . I am tiring to loose the last 20 lbs and my body will not budge . I need dome helpful meal and snack ideas as well Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted September 2, 2014 My test to suspect being overly tight is this: food consistency is the test. Take Progresso Soup for example. If you can eat Progresso Soups like beef and barley, chicken noodle Soup, fajita chicken soup or most any of the Soups with small bits of meat and well cooked soft vegetables, you're not too tight. I still chew most all of these bits of meat, vegetables, rice and barley before swallowing. I also still eat very slow so that it usually takes me a good 15 minutes to eat a can of soup. So, if you can eat soups(not the creamed soups) with meat, veggies, rice or barley, you may not be too tight. If these foods still cause stuck and PB episodes, you may need a small unfill. I had .25 CC taken out once and it made all the difference I needed. tmf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2muchfun 8,927 Posted September 3, 2014 I stalled for several months and went on the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet. But I changed it up to a 4:3 diet. I've lost 17 lbs in the last 3 months. Here's an overview if you're interested? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9Aj6hRYg4A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
