Hello,

So, i just had my fifth fill on Monday... Never felt any restriction. Until today that it is, and I don't even know if that's what you would call restriction, probably not! I felt like I was literally hungry all day long, even after I just ate.. but it didn't matter what I tried to eat, I got stuck on everything.. Got stuck on eggs, Pork Chop, rice, vegatables...... I'm not getting full, just stuck....... HELP?? what's this mean?

Too tight have a tiny bit taken out. I was too tight for 7 months and put my body through heck. Had .2ccs taken out what a difference

With every band adjustment I found that I had to relearn my limits and would have trouble til then. Of course there were times I also needed a litttle unfill.

Best wishes,

Mimi

One thing I would say to check is looking at the foods you listed above are very much trouble foods from most people after they have 3+ fills. Make sure you are chewing the heck outta everything, might be time to give up the rice for now, and also eggs are a really troublesome as they have to be cooked just right too dry or too wet can cause sticking issues.

Thank you for the replies! I am still confused though.... I think maybe it did have alot to do with my chewing and eating slow enough though. Tonight we had beef stew and I actually ate two moderate sized portions; it went down fine, which it was very saucy, and i still wasn't THAT full.... Two hours later after eating I am hungry again; my husbands pizza is really tempting me ..... I'm afraid if I was to get another fill I wouldn't have hardly any food choices to eat that wouldn't get stuck..... any more advice???? Thanks guys.

I have a similar issue as you. I can never eat early in the day or even early afternoon, so I dont even try (I just stick with a protein shake). For dinner, sometimes I can eat everything, and sometimes I PB after 2 bites. I am working really hard on listening to my body and stopping the MOMENT I get a full signal (runny nose, kind of heavy feeling in my chest...there are a number of them for me). But sometimes I just get stuck right away and am still hungry. I'm going to go for an appointment in January when I'm home with my surgeon - maybe he'll think I need a slight unfill (although I don't want TOO much taken out).

I just had my 3rd fill for a total of 7.25 cc's. I am getting stuck on I would say 75% of anything solid. Mushies are usually ok and of course sliders. I hate to have an unfill and stunt my progress as I was down 4 pounds last week and 3.6 the week before but I know this pattern of eating isn't normal either. I keep thinking .. chew more, smaller bites, more sauce but I think it may be just a hair beyond that. I have an appt. next Tues and part of me dosn't want to say anything but obviously I dont want any fill either

After my last fill (4th) I was just miserable with everything getting stuck. Went in for a slight (.2 cc) unfill and it was night and day different. It was a scary few days for me not being able to keep anything down at all. Even water came back up if I drank too much or a little too fast. Not a comfortable feeling at all and for me not something I could live with.

I had what I had hoped would be a slight unfil.. she opted for 2cc's .. way more then I wanted. Although I feel 100% better it's almost too comfortable .. no restriction, almost anything goes down .. I need to get back there before I gain my 30+ pounds back.. She also took some films and is interested in why my esophagus is all pushed to 1 side. She is going to get my post op films from 4 months ago and compare. I am due back this week for more films and a refill..

I feel your pain; I actually had to go and have an emergency unfill today after not eating nor drinking since Friday night....He took out 4 CC's and did xrays.....I am sooooo MAD, Scared, and Nervous......Why 4 CC's...I go back in 4 weeks but heck I don't think I can wait that long.
