tight band days????!!

[DebbieC1970 58]

Does anyone have days when you have a hard time eating. 1 day I'm fine, I can eat normally the next day everything comes up. I chew everything the way I should eat very slowly.

[FatGirlFitGirl 179]

Yes! I do. Also, My Band is super tight in the mornings. Especially this morning!

[line-dancer 810]

yep that is life with the band...I just tell myself look how many less cal you are getting.

Yes I am TIGHT in the mornings and when I cold and when I'm to hot.....lol The weather is Ohio has been good for me this past month. Very cold temps I am not eatiing as much so I've lost 7lbs. My Dr has no explanation as to why weather effects the band.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!

For whatever reason this has been an issue for me lately. I've been banded 14 months and I'd say in the last month and a half this has been a problem.

Yes some days I can hardly eat and other days its like an open resevoir. Its just a finicky thing.

[sbox 24]

I'm the same way. Some days I can eat more than others. And I can't eat much in the mornings.

Your stomach reacts to the environment and your personal eating habits. Eat a lot of sodium, throw in TOM, stress, allergies and medications, all can effect how much Fluid your body retains. Your stomach being part of your body reacts the same. Think of your band as if it's your ring finger. Some days your ring can be super loose and other days, very tight. Your stomach is a muscle reacting to it's environment.

There are days I cannot eat anything...and then there are days thing are back to normal...I don't have days I can eat anything...that would mean a fill...

It changes throughout the day, everyday.....very tight in the morning, gets better as the day goes on....

Spoke with My Dr about this...he said (aside form the pouch) the band is a constant....it is our bodies that are always changing....

so do you guys have pain in your chest on days that your tight? because the last couple days every time I tried to eat anything substantial my chest hurts. I had a fill 10 days ago and I've been fine except for the last 2. eventually had to throw up my food the last couple days. but I can eat Protein Bars and things that are kinda soft.

Either you are too tight or you're not taking small enough bites, chewing enough or slow enough. jmo

Try not to throw up. You can cause your band to slip.

I am having the same issue. Got a fill 12 days ago and the last 2 have been really tight. I was able to get down some Soup last night but today i have had a hard time getting liquid down. It is my period week which is normally tighter for me so I am hoping tomorrow I can feel normal again. I don't have the chest pain but definitely an overall tightness.

It's so weird. Today I was fine. Even had 2oz of steak. Guess we will have to learn to take it easy some days.
