I'm confused

March 28, 2005

I had a fill a week and a half ago, I can only get bites of food down at night. I'm wondering if i'm to tight. I can't get cold things down without pain, today i was able to have 2 bites of a chicken nugget and 2 french fries and i was in so much pain it was unreal. I have 3 cc's now but i'm thinking maybe 2.5 would be fine. PLEASE HELP ME.........

Jenny: My first thought is you are too tight. But I need more input. Is your band a Lapband that hold 4cc or is it one that holds more? If you can only get down a couple of bites of food then I would suggest a small unfill.

Yes Penni, my band is a 4cc i'm so hungry my stomach grumbles alot during the day but it hurts to much to eat just a couple of bites. Are cold things supposed to be hard to get down.?????

Thank you so much for any input.

Jenny: Cold items usually make restriction higher. So before eating don't do anything COLD. In fact you shouldn't be drinking anything for at least 30 min prior cold or hot. That will help lots.
