Although yest...That's what I was thinking too. Although yesterday I took the tiniest bites of chicken at lunch time and chewed really well, but still got stuck. I ate fine last night too. I'm just going to stick to liquids for a few days. No one ever told me I should go to liquids and mushies for a day after PBing. I will keep that in mind for the future. Most of the time I PB and think it was just me not chewing enough or eating too fast, but not this time. Idk...I'll give it a few days on liquids and try again.Holleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857003316936234230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019280157181659776.post-53232498657560884992013-02-07T05:17:18.215-08:002013-02-07T05:17:18.215-08:00the fact that you can eat tacos and a cupcake make...the fact that you can eat tacos and a cupcake makes me think you just need to slow down, take smaller bites and chew more. After PB'ing you should be on liquids for a day giving your pouch a chance to heal...it doesn't sound like you are treating it very well. If it were me I would go on liquids for a day then mushies for a day and then really watch how and what I eat. If you go back to PBing then go in for an unfill...but because you are still able to eat and do liquids it sounds like user error to me.jennxazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494091103772165015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019280157181659776.post-10766690678632279262013-02-07T04:38:28.840-08:002013-02-07T04:38:28.840-08:00I think if you are getting sick that often an unfi...I think if you are getting sick that often an unfill is needed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057278999171610432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019280157181659776.post-64695649941890959772013-02-06T13:55:52.706-08:002013-02-06T13:55:52.706-08:00I havent reached that level yet.

Getting stuck really sucks tho so maybe an unfill is in order, just a little bit and then shakes a couple of days until the inflamation goes down. Good luck! I hope you feel better soon...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844920064007259028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019280157181659776.post-8693934419290410242013-02-06T13:22:39.203-08:002013-02-06T13:22:39.203-08:00Sorry you're so uncomfortable!

You can alays slowly have fluid added back until you find your green zone. Isn't it more important to go on your trip feeling comfortable and healthy than simply at a lower weight?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054413656768355210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019280157181659776.post-26570875211290757162013-02-06T12:06:18.020-08:002013-02-06T12:06:18.020-08:00I am actually getting mine unfilled in about an ho...I am actually getting mine unfilled in about an hour. I cannot even really drink anything without getting the right feeling in my chest and I'm still throwing up with meals which is miserable and I'm tired of being miserable. Anyway, all that to say, listen to what your body is telling you. If its too tight, it's too tight. I didn't make the decision to get my band so I could drink protein shakes until I get to my goal weight. I can still enjoy food, the band is just suppose to help me manage the amount, etc. Whatever decision you make, make sure that you are doing it for you and that it's a healthy decision. <br />All the best of luck :)Harlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17246136023483150601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019280157181659776.post-21443336840538441252013-02-06T11:05:07.412-08:002013-02-06T11:05:07.412-08:00I am really struggling with this decision. I know...I am really struggling with this decision. I know if I go have an unfill tomorrow, it will throw off my schedule of fills before my trip. I know I can get by on a liquid protein diet, but I HATE them. I don't want to unfill, but I'm afraid I may need to. I have to decide by tomorrow because Thursday is the day they do adjustments at my office.Holleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857003316936234230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019280157181659776.post-78122816166640143172013-02-06T10:20:34.197-08:002013-02-06T10:20:34.197-08:00Unfill for sure!!

Loosen the band and allow your stomach to relax and stop being irritated and swollen!

It def. didn't end in weightloss, but weight gain because you turn to slider foods (ice cream) or whatever works for you. Which is rarely protien or healthy foods. Just my two cents. ~Miss Lorie~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06016233293320418115noreply@blogger.com
