Chopster, how can you tell if your band is too tight?

I can hardly eat anything without throwing up! Will give it until Monday to see if it settles down

well done on the loss chopster. keep an eye on your restriction i had an over tight band after my last fill tried to persevere but by day 6 i could not even sip water and had to have a slight defill wouldn't want to go through that again it wasn't a nice feeling. as long as you can drink you will be fine

I will thanks. There seems to be no pattern at the moment. Tuesday I could eat 1/2 a small jacket potato, Wednesday I had 3 teeny amounts and was pb'ing all afternoon. Drinks are ok but I can hear when if reaches the band. Not sure if that's a sign if being too tight or normal.

PBing is not normal Chopster, its a sign you are either eating too much, swallowing too much and too quickly or that your band is too tight.

The fact that you can eat sometimes could mean its the too quickly or not chewing enough scenario.

Try going back to liquids for a day or two then slowy onto sloppies, if you are still having problems then - go back.

Good luck xxx

[flutterby1966]

Lost two pounds this week. Great. But, i am starting to feel hungrier and hungrier each day. Now is the time I would normally start cheating on a diet; so I am sooo looking forward to my 1st bandfill on the 30th

Well done everyone on the losses. I STS for the first time since my op. I think its hormonal although I'm post-menopausal but I can still feel those pesky hormones doing their stuff! Have felt awful/tearful most of the week but I haven't overeaten. But for the first time since the op I've felt hungry! What a pain! Roll on my first fill on 31st August.

 

[soon2Byummymummy!]

Well done everyone as blue diamond says lets keep fighting the good fight!!

And magic you are sooo right when i saw my bmi was JUST under 30 i thought yey iam no longer obese but only just lol

Hey chopster how is your restriction today? when i had to go back for a defill i persevered for 5 days went back on the 6th day for the defill but i could eat the first few days and then it just seemed to get tighter and tighter weird this band malarky!! hope its settled for ya x

 

[The Chopster]

The same for me - really weird. Had 0.25 taken out and just had some sloppy corned beef hash and it went down fine and I feel satisfied !
