Ive been very stressed out lately.. wedding planning and other personal things.

Does stress make anyones band tighter? Also the reason im thinking its stress becuase after my fill last time i was ok then when i sit and think about it ever sice ive started all this planning i feel like i get stuck on everything i eat...

ive also noticed that during the morning im super tight then late at night i could even everything under the sun if i wanted..

im pretty sure thats not totally normal

I have a dr. appointment on friday. just thought id ask everyone here. i feel all i want to eat is soup and mashed potatoes and coffee. i have no appetite for anything like chicken, pork, nothing solid..

From my experience, yes.

Yup

What you are describing is totally normal...for the situation.

When I am stressed, such as driving, sometimes not always it is impossible for me to sip Water comfortably because I feel additional stress when I drive.

Other Bandsters have posted that their bands are much tighter in the morning. I have never experienced that feeling. I am told by knowledgable others that sipping a hot beverage in the morning helps to get the band to feel less tight.

I agree, yes for me too. I was having a doozie of a day on Sunday and actually got stuck for the first time. Lesson learned, next time I am upset like that I will be drinking shakes LOL

Yes for me too. I never understood how some un-banded people could say "I'm too upset to eat." Now I do.

Stress will do it every time for me. I've learned to order soup at restaurants if we are out as a family because I get too stressed taking care of my son and my hubby to focus on me!

As for being tight in the morning, this is normal for me, too. I like to start my morning off with coffee while I watch the morning news. It can take me 30 mins sometimes to drink 1 measly cup of coffee! I don't eat Breakfast because I'm just too tight to get it down. My band loosens up around 10:30 or 11:00am so that's when I have my first meal of the day.

Both of these are normal. You have enough to think about with the wedding plans!

Yep... stress can do it.

I have also had this problem. I was doing great after my last fill then unfortunately had some issues come up with my oldest kids and the worry and the stress made it awful. I had about 3 horrible weeks where I had to eat soups and drink protein drinks after I had been able to eat solids with no problems.
