I can have up to 4cc's .. My first fill i got 1.3 and was not restricted at all. i went back a month later and i have 2.3 cc's .. Its been about a month now and i still am having issues. at times i eat a few bites and get stuck and i puke it up. depending on the food i can still eat a a decent amount and not fill full.. I stop eating because i get stuck and want to throw it up.. I am wondering if this is normal.. How much can somebody eat and feel full.. My mom has the band and feels full after 3 bites. I never get the full sensation.. I always get stuck.. Do i need another fill to get the full sensation??

If you can't eat 3 oz solidvprotein you are to tight. Talk with your doctor about a small unfill.

It sounds like you need to learn to eat and live with the band. You shouldn't be throwing up and you shouldn't be eating until you're full. The band isn't supposed to stop you from eating anything, and if you're looking for that stuffed full feeling, you're eating too much.

I would talk to your doctor and your nutritionist. Remember, small bites, chew it until mush, and pause between bites.

Also, have a look at this link, I think it will help a lot: http://drsimpson.net/fills/Lap-band-eating/lap-band-not-restriction/lap-band-and-restriction.html

Ya i am still learning about the band.. I always have to remind myself to eat slow.. I know that's why i throw up a lot but when i eat slow and small bites then i can actually eat a big portion.. For example i had 2 pieces of pizza the other day and i was surprised i could eat it. i normally eat healthy but was out of town an we got pizza.. I figured i would be full after a piece or less..

Thank you for your feed back and thanks for the link!!! It has a lot of good information on it.. :-)

You are not eating to get full anymore. You are eating to feel satisfied there is a big difference in the two. If you eat a cetain amount then start getting stuck you are eating too fast. You cant just keep eating with the band or you will have issues.

X-nay on the throwing up. You'll cause your band to slip.

Please fill in your profile so we know more about you and can help you better?

I read that link up above .. I didn't realize you ate to satisfy not the full sensation.. I still have a lot to learn.. I don't know how to edit my profile.. I am on my phone.. Can i do it thru here or do i need to hop on my laptop??

It's hard to do. I login sometimes on my Kindle and I can't do squat from my Kindle.
