You may be, is it only with certain foods or when you’re in a hurry to eat? Because that is normal, some of us cannot eat bread, eggs, rice, etc…. And if you’re in a hurry you forget to chew well enough. Also after a pbing, you should stay on liquids a few days, because the swelling from pbing can cause you to get tighter, which can leave you on a never ending cycle of pbing.

If you don’t think either of those is it, then I would suggest a small unfill. Talk to your doctor.

I have pb'd before and not been too tight. The reason is that I was either eating too fast, not chewing enough, or eating the wrong thing that disagreed with me.

First I would try to analyze how closely you are following the bandster rules and try to figure out what is making you pb. For some of us, chicken and salmon are rough in the beginning, some people have problems with Pasta, bread or carbs.

You are absolutely right. Learned my lesson on this one.

Like the others said, if...

A.) You are only eating when hungry, taking small bites (about the size of the fingernail on your index finger), chewing it thoroughly and putting your fork down between bites (it should take 20-30 minutes to eat a meal.

B.) You are not PB'ing only on certain foods (common culprits being doughy breads, dry meats, fibrous veggies, starchy carbs)

C.) Are not drinking too soon after a meal

...then you may need to look at whether you are too tight.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
