Some Days....



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anybody else has had the same experience as I have. Most days, I can manage most foods if I eat in the right proportion and chew properly. Other days, Soup will almost give me a hard stop!

I was wondering if anybody else has had days like this, and what causes it.

I am absolutely thrilled with my lap band. Even though the days I describe can be a bit annoying, I am so glad to have this tool to assist me in my weight loss.

It happens to me sometimes. I'm tighter in the morning, but if I've had coffee, things seem to loosen up a bit. If I go a long time between meals, or try to eat something really dense (grilled chicken breast, for example) I may have a harder time. But then, some days I feel like I could eat a horse, and nothing would get stuck. it's weird. :)

My band also has a mind of its own sometimes. Some days I'm wide open, and others it's hard to get even liquids down. Stress is a big factor...the more stressed I am the tighter I am. I've also found that I get tighter around "that time of the month." When I have a cold, I get all clogged up from post-nasal drip. Colder weather sometimes tightens me up, too (and I've heard others say that warmer weather makes them tighter). I also have to drink coffee or tea in the morning before attempting anything to eat, and even then the most solid thing I can get down is cottage cheese. There's also a thing called "first bite syndrome" where the first few bites you take will have a tough time going down. I get this A LOT. Just chew chew chew those first bites, and eat very slowly at first. After the first few bites food should go down normally. I don't know why this is, but it does seem worse when I'm very hungry. Also, make sure you're getting your Water in! The days when I'm fully hydrated (at least 64oz of water) I have a much easier time eating. Those days when I don't get all my water in, and usually the day following, I get stuck very easily. In time you'll get to know your band's tendencies and what makes you tighter. Of course, sometimes there's just no rhyme or reason to it!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
