To clarify: I feel as if I just got it tightened but it has been 3-4 weeks. I can eat SOFT or purred foods and keep liquids down but the foods that are heavier (lean chicken, turkey, etc) those are what is not staying down. By starving: I meant that I am not getting my daily req. calories not that I am not eating ANYTHING. I only had .5 cc put in so that is what I am having a problem with. By taking that out I'd go back to where I was and want to have a little more put in. By "stretching" -- is what EVERYONE does after their fill (they usually can't hold a lot of stuff down for the first week) & then it gradually gets better. My question is that it's been about 3 1/2 weeks SHOULD I be able to eat heavier foods or is it because I already have lots of restriction that a little bit will take longer for normal foods to go down smoothly? I really don't find this the "stupidest thing" & found that statement to be completely unnecessary. If you don't have something NICE to say then don't say it -- you could have done your reply without that statement.

Okay, so this is terrible. I think I'm only losing weight because I am (basically) starving myself. I try to eat and it all comes back up. However, if I take any cc's out -- then I GAIN weight (small but I still gain -- & not from eating unhealthy) My mindset is that I should just wait it out until my stomach stretches a bit to where I would need a little bit more restriction and then just not make that app. to see if I can lose weight by eating more (which some people swear by) Not sure if I can MAKE it to that point -- I'm BARELY losing anymore but it's better than gaining right?
