Am I too tight or just feeling restriction for 1st time?

I got a fill last Tuesday, 1/2 cc I have a 10 cc band. I am at a total of 3cc. Before this fill I could eat really anything but chicken would sometimes irritate me but since this feel I am having to live on protein shakes. I get this tight feeling and my mouth is watering like I want to puke but I make sure I chew my food up real good. Is this just restriction or too tight. So far I have only been able to eat maybe 1oz of meat? What is the norm? Called my doctor and pretty much they said it is my call if I want to unfill it some. Will it loosen after a couple of weeks? Please help me of what the feeling of restriction feel like. hould you slime no matter what you eat. It comes in with my saliva?

I think sliming is one of those warning signs that you are too tight. Call your doctor. I just got a fill today and know already that I am too tight. I have to drive more than an hour one way to get there. But what are we going to do? Good luck and let me know what happens.

I think you're too tight. When you can't eat anything but liquids or "sliders" you have too much fill...go get a LITTLE taken out (sometimes .25 cc or so makes a HUGE difference)

And Slimmap...slimeing usually (not always but usually) means you aren't doing the basics right...not chewing well, too big bites, eating too fast, etc.

An occasional bout of slime and/or PB just means you didn't watch it...or you found a food you have trouble with. Doing it all the time, turning to soft foods etc, means you're too tight. So don't let an occasional "slime" episode throw you off; consider what might have caused it, see if you can correct it by behavior modification before you go get an unfill.

:) It's so much to learn!

Slimmap if you can't keep liquids down you ARE too tight, probably. If you can, give it a day or two. You are probably swollen from the fill and doing an all liquid day or so will give your stomach time to settle down.
No liquids=dehydration as you know....bad thing! But you can go a day or two without eating; it won't hurt you.

It is so weird I have been very restricted but I realized I wasn't getting all my water in and that's why I was sliming so bad. I know it sounds crazy but I read on here that if you aren't drinking enough water it could cause problems. It migh be a coincidence because I have lost another twenty five pounds since my last fill but I am feeling so good. I realize your body doesn't need that much food. It is a mental thing with us thinking we are not eating enough. i literally can eat 1-2 oz of protein and be fine for hours. I can know eat very small portions but that i probably what we should do wnyway. Thanks for the advice.

Also, I wasn't taking my time and chewing long enough too. It is a learning process we have t go through. Things can change so much with such little fills. Its amazing how it works.

How many fills was that for you? and the time in between each? I still have not had a fill? I am a little scared but hungry too!
