Weird feeling where band is



Recommended Posts

Im going through some rough stuff right now and noticed since getting another fill yesterday that when i get upset and cry my band feels uncomfortable or tighter. Is that normal?

Stress and emotion can affect the tightness of my band, so can being sick, e.g. with a head cold.

Good luck.

YES!!!!! Negative emotions definitely affect my band. I've been very stressed for the last few weeks and its like I get an instant fill.

I just make sure I'm extra careful during this time and stick to softer Proteins and am even more mindful with chewing and smaller bites otherwise I'd spend the whole time getting stuck and pbing.

I don't want to run and get a slight unfill as I'm happy where I am with my band and fills ATM and don't want to start getting into the habit of slight unfills and then getting it put back in once stress has left me. I just accommodate my band and work with the moody tool it can be at times.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
