too tight=no weight loss?

[linksmom 0]

I know that you need fills to help you eat less, so that you can lose weight. Is it possible to be too tight and still not lose weight? Like I"m not eating enough? I have been at a plateau for about 1 1/2 months. A friend of mine thinks i'm too tight. Eating real food doesn't really work for me until dinner time. I probably throw up maybe every couple of days. I had an unfill about a month ago, and felt that i could eat too much and didn't have that full feeling. But every month when I go in for my checkup, they always put some in.So now I don't know what to do. My time of the month could be making a visit soon, so maybe that has something to do with it. let me know what you think, susan

We were told not to eat until FULL, but until satisfied. Fine line of distinction, I know; but personally if I get full, it's uncomfortable. HOWEVER you should be able to eat food. The point of the band isn't like the old "jaw wiring" where you could only sip liquids for nutrition. You're supposed to be able to eat normally, but less.

If I were you I'd discuss with my surgeon and maybe the nutritionist.

It is possibe to not lose weight if you are too tight. If solid Protein is giving you trouble, you are probably eating softer foods, which means you are not staying full long and you may even be getting to many calories with the softer food. My doctor calls it 'soft food syndrome'.
