I just need to vent.

I'm Havin a day where nothing goes down, everything I attempt gets stuck, even my 'go to' foods. I'm sick of shakes and liquids and I would just about KILL for a nice chicken and salad sandwich! I started as a low BMI bandster last November. I'm not far off my goals but I have days where I get so frustrated that I can't eat seemingly 'normal' foods without some

Form of discomfort. I know today is just an off day and tomoro will be better. I just need to get it out to those who understand and who have times where they just wanna resort to bad things that don't cause any grief! Tell me you all feel my

Pain!

I know the feeling. I had a fill last December that finally gave me restriction. Did not get my first actual food stick until about a year in. I think maybe my fill is actually a little too much for me because now all the healthy stuff is getting stuck too. It is making me drink my calories rather than eat food. I am also off my Protein routine. I hate the drinks now and keep lying that I can manage the protein with food alone. But I know I don't. When days get bad I always drink hot liquids before eating. Loosens the stoma.

Yup, the killer for me is when a food goes down just fine one time and later on that same day gets stuck.

Do you all find stress effects your ability to eat on certain days?

Yes!

For me salt has a huge part. If I eat anything that is salty, my stoma will be swollen by the next day and its liquids only for me for at least 24 hours. I try to steer clear of salt at all times now.

And that means all pre packages processed foods that are high in sodium!

I have the same problem.

sounds like you need a slight unfill
