Stomach Full or Band Too Tight?

My surgeon told me he thought our adjustement on 29 September would be the one that got me in the green zone. I am at 9 CC in a 14 CC band. The difference the 1 CC made was amazing.

I had lost 60 lbs on the first two adjustments and could eat good size meals.

Now I am having:

Breakfast - 1/4 of the top of a bagel OR a nutrigrain bar OR two spoons of Peanut Butter

lunch - Small salad OR small lean cuisine

dinner - A few bites of meat and a part of a cup of veggies

Biting off more than I can chew sends me right to the bathroom. If I sip Water with my meal I can down some more. If I stop drinking before the meal I cannot handle very much at all.

I am afraid the band may be too tight if I am having the slimes. Or have I been eating more because the band was not adjusted right yet?

If this is restriction I am happy to learn even better eating habits and watch the weight keep dropping.

    My band was tighten and I am at 71/2 with a 9cc Realize band. I PB everything I eat. Mornings are the worse I can't even drink milk. I can't believe I am surviving with as little as I eat. Why is the weight not coming off? Someone out there please help. Hartsdream@aol.com
