Tighter at Times?

Does anyone else's band feel super tight somedays and then looser other days? I felt I had really good restriction the last couple of days, but today I don't feel like I have as much. Just curious.

Ha! Big yes..in fact it varies so much that it can be sort of annoying..I think for me stress & anxiety are biggies and also the weather...my doc described it as the stomach is a muscle and just like our other muscles tighten with stress, so does the stomach. Also allergies and "that time of month" for women can affect restriction as well.

It drives me nuts!! And yes, that time of the month is super crazy!! Our bands have a personality of their own.

Yes, yes and yes! Like today I could barely eat, yesterday , I was able to eat normal, then there are days I feel totally famished.

I was wondering about this. I have it too and when I mentioned it to my lap band coordinator she acted like I was crazy.

Oh most definitely. Everyday is a different day. Some mornings I can wake up starving even though I'm not and eat a little bit all day. Other days I can awake and just be like blah!!! It's weird but you get used to it. Just go with what your body tells you.

Oh hell yes! My band is like a two year old, you never know what you are going to get!!!

Wow I thought I was the only one, this is good news to me :wub:
