Tight or eating too fast?

[seeme1954 32]

I don't want to do damage to myself but I am confused. Can you be too tight and not in green zone. I have a hard time eating and sometimes it comes back up. But I am hungry and am not satisfied on small amounts..this happens a coupl times a week. Is this normal or should I call doctor?

I got my 3rd fill yesterday and I'm feeling too tight and got sick tonight after 4 bites. It kind of sounds like you might be a little tight too.

Being too tight means that you are not in the green zone. You have passed through it into the dangerous red zone.

However, your post title suggests that you think you may be eating too fast so concentrate on slowing down considerably and see if this makes a difference.

If not, then get yourself off to your dr for a consultation and probably a slight unfill.

Being in the green zone means that you can eat, albeit slowly, and not vomit or PB. And you will be satisfied on a small amount of food for a longer period of time.

It is a fine line between being too tight and not eating properly....

The band is designed to alter our old eating habits that made us fat in the first place....what we may think is too tight may be eating wrong...or then again, maybe not...

I know many people who thought they were too tight, got an un fill, then regretted it and wanted another fill a few weeks later.....

I know people who got a slight un-fill and they found that perfect balance.....

It took me a full month after my last fill to adjust to it...I could have said I was too tight...but I knew if I took a step back, that would put me where I was...always hungry and not loosing weight........but I am glad I did not because it has made all the difference ever since...that was 20 months ago, and I have not been stuck in over a year...

But that i me...only you can tell if you're where you want to be or not...

It is a fine line. I need to monitor if I am eating too fast

After my 6th fill I was in the green zone but I thought I was too tight also. So, I had .5 cc removed. I haven't lost any weight since then. But I did realize I wasn't eating properly and that's why I was too tight. Re-educating myself to eat slowly, very small and chew more is one of the hardest things I've had to do with the band. I believe many people dance around the green zone simply because they don't follow the rules, like I didn't follow the rules even though I thought I was. Some even fail because they just can't slow down.
