Hey everyone,
I had my first fill about a week ago. I still cannot eat solids and mushy food is also a challenge. I find myself having the "sliming" experience too. Is this normal? How long until my band loosens just a little? I am happy with the weight loss but I am yearning to be able to eat some solid food again. Any input, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

With each fill I've had to adjust my eating a bit to conform to the smaller opening resultant from increased fill. Our body often adapts faster than our brains, and we have to train ourselves accordingly. It sounds like you are getting more restriction than you have previously had....which is the goal of adjustable fills....

Guidance in changing your eating behavior is available from your surgeon (maybe not) or your nutritionist.
