Hey everyone - I am now at a 2.4 cc in a 4.00 cc band. I had my most recent fill about two weeks ago. I cannot hold down solids - only liquids and mushies.

Might I be too tight?

Whenever I eat solids, no matter how microscopic the bite, it feels like I have the WORST heart burn and that I need to vomit up the food as soon as possible in order to feel relief. Of course, I do not force myself, but there are times that I want to!

I do have quite a bit PBs on solids, but at the same time, if I were too tight, I couldn't hold down mushies could I ?

I am so confused...I can each crunchy things like corn chips or low fat wheat thins without any discomfort, but carrot sticks, deli meats, healthy stuff - that is a no-go. I know I cannot eat mashed potatoes, milkshakes, and Soup for the rest of my days and expect to lose weight...

HELP!!!

You may well be too tight. You should be able to eat solid foods, not just mushy.

Personally, I think you're too tight. You should be able to eat solid food (albeit small amounts). The band is not meant to work with a diet of mushies.

I would go in for a slight unfill. That should do the trick.
