:help: You are too tight when ______????????:puke: Please fill in the blank.

Can't swallow your own spit

You can't swallow liquids OR keep anything down.

Ok, I can swallow my own spit but water is making my chest hurt a little. It may be because I tried to eat too much after my last fill though and now I have an irritated stoma. I will be doing liquids for a few days...

hmm, I think that is diff. for everyone. For me.. I agree with the first response.. I like being tight, its the only way I lose. But you need to be able to get the nutrition you need.

I agree with your comment about being tight is the only way to lose, as there is no point if you can still eat the kinds of foods we ate pre op. I can eat any sloppy foods with sauces or gravey that is enough for me, but im tight enough to keep me off bread stuff like pizza and take aways so im happy. It all depends on how much restriction each individual will be happy with and how far you want to go.

Well, this morning I am just sipping hot water with a capful of aloe concentrate. It is just gurgling its way down. I am thinking about trying some yogurt in a little while.

You fall into 'soft food syndrome' because you can't/won't eat hard proteins as recommended by the manufacturer of the band. Then, you tend to claim you aren't losing, but you can't eat... then you eat more soft foods, then you claim you aren't losing because you can't eat.... then.... then... lol.

You can't tolerate solid protein.
