I was banded in Dec. and have had 3 fills (2cc's ina 4cc band). Have lost nearly 50 lbs since journey began (25 since surgery).Not much restriction for 1st week after last fill, then it kicked in with a vengence. My concern is that I realized after about 5 days of PBing a lot that my eating hadn't changed at all. I kept eating moderate size portions, and not very slow - then just barfed it up after overfilling. My band finally roared and I have not been able to keep down any solids (or even mushies) since Sat. (can do liquids/protein drinks). I seem to keep getting in the way of my own success. If this sounds in any way familiar to anyone, I would so appreciated some insight into how to get past this. Help please. Sunshine

Moon - I have spent the past few days thinking about what you said. I honestly think that I have had a serious case of rebellion. When you suggested this possibility it really struck a nerve. I seem to have been fighting the changes my band brings - even after all I have gone through to get my band. Have been on liquids for a week, timidly moving to mushies. I hope I can stop pushing the limits and make some real changes. Thank you for the eye opener. Sunshine
