I had my surgery on 5/7/09. My first fill was on 6/2/09. Down 33lbs., but I have been at a standstill on the scale (No loss or gain) for a week. Yesterday I started having trouble eating. I ate about 1/2 of a chicken patty from a chicken biscuit (I threw out the biscuit) and had trouble keeping it down. Today friends at work asked me to go out for lunch- mexican-I only had enough meat to fill one tortilla and I didn't think I would make it getting my meal paid before I got sick. I had to sit in my truck 10mins hurting and then spit up (I guess what everyones calling sliming) after that it did get better. This evening I ate a small can of chicken salad spread cause I knew that would be really soft and had trouble with that too. Does this mean the band is too tight? I thought I'd had chewed long enough or maybe do I just have to back off and eat less if it is tighter now? Any help is appreciated.

I had my surgery on 5/7. I have lost a total of 30lbs. so far. I was on a 1 week liver shrinking pre-op diet. My first fill will be on 6/2.

Hello! I was also banded on May 7th. Not feeling hungry, but having lots of shoulder pain. Seems to flair up whenever I eat. Good luck on your journey!!
