Anyone else have a band that will tolerate a certain food one day and then a week later you cannot eat it? But then the next time you try it it's fine? (just about all food groups)

These things I CANNOT eat ever - bread (actually I never eat it because all the stories scare me!), dry meat, pinto Beans, Malt-o-meal, etc.... I'm talking about normal everyday, healthy things like green beans, moist chicken, yogurt, string cheese, salad, Soups, cooked veggies, oatmeal, lean cuisines, etc...

When I'm on my period or swollen/retaining Water I especially have issues!! Has anyone asked for a water pill and just taken it when needed? And yes - I watch my sodium intake.

I'm still trying to work with this tool of mine and not against it but sometimes it gets a little frustrating.

Yes this happens to me all the time. It's one of the reasons that people should never cross a food off their list if it gets stuck once. The next time they try it will probably be fine.

Me, too. I seem to be effected by stress, hormones and the weather. I'm not sure how I know, but I can even tell how tight the band is without eating. There are days that I make dinner for my family and realize that there's no way I can eat what I've made them. I love my band, but it has its issues.
