Need some advice on a fill

My last fill was june 6th and i have 2 cc in a VG band. I have serious first bite syndrome (actually the first 5 bites) and slime alot. I can't really eat meat, however I can eat Cereal. It seems that I slime alot and just can't really eat anything that is substantial. My delima is that when i eat cereal or oatmeal, i can eat a lot. Am i too tight with the slimes or do you think i need another fill? I am at a stand still with the weightloss also.

thanks for the ears!

nope, no fill - but you need to be careful of the 'soft food syndrome'. yes, it's easier to eat softer foods, but they also come with lots more calories. if you can't eat hard Proteins, it may be that you need a bit of an unfill. that being said, IF you can get done several bites of meats/proteins, you may be fine. Our heads tend to think we NEED more than 'a few' bites of Protein, when in reality, it's quite okay if you can just have 'a few' and your band begins to say NO MORE. You may even be at the ever elusive 'sweet spot' that so many pray for. :) Try to be aware - if you chew, chew, chew - can you get down 4-8 bites of protein successfully? If so - you may need NO adjustment. It's very common that people can't eat solids in the morning. This is where Protein Shakes or Protein Bars came in handy for me, or cottage cheese or yogurt.

It's all trial and error.. :jaw: Good luck!
