Less I eat -> Tighter I get?

A question for the group~

So my last fill was in April, filled to about 5ccs. I have only lost about 10lbs since then, and only 25lbs total, so I have felt like I was maybe just a hair away from the sweet spot, but vomiting pretty often and PBing so I haven't wanted to go any tighter. But over the last 6 weeks or so, I have been eating less and less and as I eat less, it seems like the less I CAN eat. I feel like my band gets tighter, the less I eat. I am eating Protein shakes in the morning, yogurt, a soft lunch and chewing really well, but at times turning to shakes just to quell the evening hunger. I am thinking that I might be too tight, but it's so counter intuitive to me because, #1, I am not losing that much weight and #2, I thought losing weight made you looser anyway.

Now for the first time I am having heartburn... something that I have never had a problem with before. Why would my band suddenly just get tighter??

Whatcha'll think??

You do sound as though you are too tight. You are relying mainly on slider foods and these leave you hungry and often cause weight goin. I think you should go and get a small unfill so you can start eating proper food. You will probably find that once you do that the weight will start dropping again.

reasons for bands getting tighter include stress,hormones, dehydration etc.
