Mind of it's own ..

[kassy_360 3]

It's been 6 weeks since my last fill and I swear this band has a mind of it's own. Been cruising along doing just fine .. very comfortbale in fact.. all of sudden the past 2 days everything is an issue .. reflux and stuckage with all my every day stuff thats been great for weeks now. I had a cold last week and was prepared to have issues .. none. nothing going on cycle wise .. only thing I question is it's been crazy humid the last 2 days.. I'm reluctant to get an unfill since everything has been great .. have gone a little more mushy for a few days and see if I can get things to calm down ..

You are doing the right thing by just giving it a rest with the mushies. Mine can be variable too and I will never probably fully understand it or predict it! I think my tightness is similar to my wedding ring...in the morning I can barely get it off and in the evening its falling off but also some wild variations of that once in a while! Anyway I will never be able to eat solid food before 11:00 am and after dinner I have to be careful not to oversnack! I always say about my band "Its mystery is only exceeded by its power" and if you havent seen the movie Dude, Wheres my Car...you'll just think I'm crazy!

I cruised along for about a year never having random issues with getting stuck, etc - but over the summer I had quite a few "bad band days" = at least that's what I choose to call them. It's a day like most others except NOTHING solid wants to go through my band no matter how good I chew. I have read others say it can have to do with stress (which makes sense because many of my bad days were when my daughter was acting up or I was stressed). I just stick to mushys or liquids on those days.. it's weird, but it happens

Yes, my own Band, my own Little Angel of the Silicon Fist, my Symbiant....is .....FICKLE!!!!

There. Now some days just aren't like the day before, despite "hunky dory" and "A-OK", etc for days/weeks/months on end. No issues, no effort, no concerns.....predictable, non intrusive....just like 'normo life' with 'normo eating'.....

Then....kaBLAMMO!!!

Nearly as psychotic as a red headed ex-spouse....and uncertainty with no clear cause.....then....

like a distant splash in an autumn pond.........serenity returns and all becomes calm again.............
