For the veterans. Am I too tight?

I got a fill last Thursday 2/4. It was fill of 0.5cc. I'm not sure how much I have in my band but I think it's about 6cc.

After I was on liquid and mushy and back on regular food every time I eat I get this loud gurgling and while I'm not stuck it's loud and embarrassing. My restriction is high.

I also have a hard time eating before 2-3pm. The morning is really hard even if it's yogurt and Soup with quinoa yesterday was a chore. After about 2-3pm my band gets looser and it's easier to eat.

I am losing weight but wondering if this is too tight. I'm writing this after eating some oatmeal and trying not to have the gurgles be too loud for coworkers.

I gurgle all the time...I think it's neat.

Especially first thing in the morning when everything is quiet and I am having my first cup of coffee...

I have not been able to eat a Breakfast in over 4 years...my band is very tight in the morning, loosens as the day goes on...so I have a high Protein smoothie every morning, made in my blender, with fresh fruit, almond milk, etc.

About 35-40gms of protein to start the day...try to match that with eggs, oatmeal, etc....

(BTW, I do not believe the band actually tightens and loosens, but it is the best way to describe it.

I believe it is something else but that's another story)

I'm going to try a smoothie in the morning. See how it goes.

Today I had a hard time eating anything so I'm going to get a slight unfill tomorrow. I'm always hungry because I can't eat enough to last me more than 2 hours. Hoping taking about 2.5cc will make the difference or maybe just 1.
