HELP!! Does my band need to be tightened??

jamzny · December 30, 2007

I keep PBing and am hungry quite often...my first thought would be that my band needs to be loosened, BUT I think perhaps it needs to be tightened. Then the food would stay in place, not be able to get stuck as easily, and I would feel full a lot longer??? Am I totally wrong for thinking that may be the case???

Please help!

Thanks so much,

Jamie :help:

I had something recently that sounds the same. I was PBing all the time and always starving. For me it was because it was hard to get in enough solid Protein, thus the unfil. If you can eat 2-3 oz at a time then you are good. Anything more than that, you need a fill.

You need to really rethink as you eat. Sounds like you may be taking too big a bite, or not chewing enough. I have great restriction, but if I don't really watch myself I PB a lot because I tend to forget and take a big bite, or gulp. When I really really slow down and chew chew chew and think when I eat I don't normally have that problem. So it's not just the tightness of the band, it is also how you are navigating the eating process.
