wow oh wow does it ever make it tight!! this happened last night too after hubs and i got into a discussion. tonight again from listening to the boys fight and carry on, plus i am trying to work out a few things in my head that are kinda sad to me. so now i am trying to relax and drink some hot tea. so it really is true that stress will make it tighter. its kinda throbbing but feeling some better.

I read about this somewhere else...maybe on this website, don't know!! Glad someone has verified it....I will have to pay more attention to it next time I am stressing out about something ).....Weird, huh?? Wonder why it would make it tighter!!!

The WLS liason at the hospital told me that too, the day of surgery. I thought it was interesting cause I wouldn't have even thought of that. I like knowing the lil' things like that, no surprises

I have found drinking hot tea really helps.

I found this out several times over and still have not learned to not eat when stressed by work or family issues. It is a GUARANTEE that I will be stuck, regardless how small the bites or how careful I am in eating. I have no fills and it gets super tight when stressed or first thing in morning when I wake up. I am almost 2 years out since being banded, and this has been an ongoing thing with me from day one. I stop eating immediately and make my smoothie with banana and strawberries and whey Protein to substitute for my meal.

holidays are just really stressing me out- we have had 2 deaths this yr and it's just hard right now. and kids and everyday normal things just compound everything together. hot tea really helps. yest i decided since my tummy was hurting yet again that the day was going to be about me and to be as relaxing as possible. it worked some but i know it's not all going to go away in a few hrs. going to take some time. for some reason i never thought to just stop eatting and have a protein shake. i just kept trying to eat. thanks for that reminder.

Yes, it sure does! I experienced this last night right after I finished supper. Hubby and I got in a little spat and boy did that band tighten up!! It made me feel like I could up chuck my dinner. Terrible feeling and I am only 12 days post-op!!

OMG this post has brought tears to my eyes..I have never heard this before and I thought I was going crazy.. or sabatoging myself or something..It all makes since now. i couldnt understand why one day i could eat something and then a couple of days later id try to eat the same thing and it just wouldnt go down. Its because the second time id had a stressfull day at work thats why...THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!

HOLY SMOKE! And here I thot I was losing it....I had scheduled a fill as I had been getting hungry between meals, etc....and then the last week I had been sooooo tight I called and cancelled as I figured I would be stupid to waste the money. Stress would be the key - thanks so much for posting this!!!!

What about when you are sick? I got sick from my granddaughter last friday.Ive had fever, chills, sore throat, and no voice but mainly since saturday Ive not been able to keep anything down not even grits. I was gonna call the doc this morning and then i read this post and thought maybe the stress from being sick was doing this.

I read about stress effecting tightness and have to admit I didn't really buy into it. However, I experienced it big time. I was very worried about plastic surgery I was about to undergo and had trouble keeping things down off and on. I was so worried I would have trouble while recovering, but everything has been going down fine.
