Is this what i want



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill 3 weeks ago woke up Sunday unable to eat more then 3or 4 bites no matter what it is or how much I chew it. Any more is painful an wants to come back up. liquids are fill just a little slower. Is this a problem or a good thing. :confused2:

I agree with Jack, if you aren't hungry then 2-3 bites might be all you need. From the sound of your post, that might not be the case. Generally 2-3 bites per meal without it wanting to come up probably isn't enough. There is no way you are going to get good nutrition with that little food, and what tends to happen is you start resorting to soft foods or liquids because it's too hard to eat, then you defeat the purpose of the band because it is designed to work with dense foods. Since it's been 3 weeks since your fill I would recommend maybe going in for a little unfill. See if you can get to where you can eat 3/4-1 cup of food.

      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.
