Sliming 80% of the time..too tight?

If you are sliming about 80% of the time after taking 1-2 small bites, would you consider this a sign of being to tight?

I absolutely would say you have a problem. Have you had a fill recently that has started this whole process?

Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum.

I had a fill (somewhat aggressive) about 6 weeks ago. After 2 weeks in I feel like I slime 80% of the time after 1-2 small bites.

This makes me rely on going to soft/sliders/liquids. Eating Protein seems difficult. Because of this , my hunger is not being satisfied for 3-4 hours. Seems like I am getting hungry every hour & i been grazing though out the day.(making weight loss difficult) Im going back tomorrow & going to request taking out .5 cc. Maybe then I can get some protein in & have satisfied hunger for longer than an hour. Guess this is a fine tuning for the green zone.

Can a moderator move this to the correct forum? Thanks & I apologize.

This sounds like the red zone -- I would get a small unfill immediately.

It's in the right forum now?

Yeah, you sound like you're too tight? What kind of slider foods can you consume safely? I usually ask people to open a can of Progresso or Campbell beef, veggie and barley Soup. If you can get this down easily you're not too tight. This is about the consistency you need to be chewing to. I chew soup to this day but never get stuck on it.

Now, bread and sandwiches, minor stuck episodes 50% of the time. Tonight, overdone chicken bruschetta and a small stuck/slime episode. For me, it's eating too fast and big that brings on the sliming/stuck episodes.

Overly tight bands can cause a lot of damage. Don't sit on this for very long?

Yes, don't wait to get some Fluid removed. Sounds like you're in the danger zone.

Had to have .5cc removed due to coughing and sliming a bit but that seems to have helped.
