Teachers

I'm a first grade teacher. I've been back two weeks (one week of inservice and one week with kids). I was doing awesome, in the green zone (after getting a small amount removed). Eating small portions, drinking all my liquids as recommended, etc.. However, now that I am back to work, I am so tight! I know its caused by stress b/c I was doing well before work began.. I had two days where I couldn't eat a bit and had to drink very slow or Water would get stuck :(

My Dr is 3 hours away so I am trying to hold off until my next appt (Sept. 11). How does your band react to the stress? I have a very needy class this year, new principal, 2 of my own kids (ages 4 and 5), hubby is overseas and no family close by.. I was banded March 9th, 2012 so I'm still learning this process.

How does your band react to stress? What do you do to help with stress/band getting tighter? Does stress and tightness seem to calm down eventually as the school year goes?

  • I teach high school and some days I'm very stressed by lunch time. Thankfully I have a conference period right after lunch, so if I cannot eat during the lunch period I can take some time afterwards.

  • It is great that you are thinking ahead! I know I can't eat breakfast, so I usually have a Protien shake every morning. Lunch just depends. I hVe been back to work after summer for almost a month now.

  • I have vanilla hiney Greek yogurt with cottage cheese when band is tight.
