the vomiting if I could at least lose weight. I got a fill about 3 weeks ago (up to about 6cc in a 10cc band) and in the last week or so, I have pb'd so many times on the solid Proteins, that it's not funny. I thought I was taking my time, chewing well, and taking small bites, but I guess not. I'm not suffering from reflux at night, but I'm having these episodes that make me sore, ya know?

And... the frustrating thing is that I can't seem to lose weight unless I'm on a total liquid diet!! :cursing:

Any thoughts, advice, suggestions?!!? I'm starting to think I'm a failure at this too! My 1 year anniversary is in a couple of days and I haven't lost any weight since the 2 days I was on liquids right after my fill....

It might be the type of solids your eatting. After my last fill I could no longer eat Chicken of any kind. And I havent been able to eat pork for a long time. I can however eat hamburger and ground meat and bacon. I get full a lot quicker then I have before. So I have to really be careful to not over eat and pb.

I strongly suggest that you check that you are not too tight...if you are, as weird as it seems, you lose less weight, and the longer it persists the more swelling and potential damage to your stomach is done.

If it is confirmed that you are NOT too tight, then assess whether the episodes are related to a particular food or group of foods. For myself, there is no food that I cannot eat (in moderation)...if I had to start eliminating foods, I would be somewhat concerned.
