Is this feeling restriction or too tight?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I have, just recently gotten a fill that has given me some restriction. My quandary is this: Up until about 6 or 7 at night, if I eat anything, if feels like it sits in my throat. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't cause slimming, it doesn't come back up. But I can't stand it. If I wait till 6 or 7, drink something hot first, then eat, I am fine. Is that feeling because I am too tight, or is that what it feels like when you are restricted and food stays up top? Before this fill, I could eat anything in any amount, just like prebanded. So I don't want to go in for an unfill if this is what it is supposed to feel like. Also, I take tiny bites, chew until it is as liquid as it can get. I take time between my bites and follow the other band rules. Thanks for any help!

I'm not the most educated person to answer your question, but that kinda sounds like normal restriction.

Its not something that's immediately pleasurable at first, but after you see results you will learn to love it.....or at least appreciate it.

I'm not totally sure though.

It sounds like me in the morning. I can't drink anything cold or it comes back, but if I start with broth or tea everything else goes down smooth after that.

It concerns me that you can't eat until that late in the day. That is what doesn't sound normal to me. Are you feeling okay? Are you losing weight? I don't know how you could be getting enough nutrients in to be healthy if you can't eat until 7 pm. and only after drinking a hot drink.< /p>

I feel fine - I drink Slim Fast or Yogurt drinks for Breakfast and lunch. Today I was able to eat - but I get a heavy feeling in the bottom of my throat - after just a couple of tiny bites. I guess that is the new full feeling? I sure don't like it. It doesn't hurt, but it makes me feel uneasy, kind of panicky. I guess it is all in my head.

Thanks for all the help guys!

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