Okay, I have been banded almost 6 weeks. I am due for my first fill on Sept 12. I had restriction the first 2/3 weeks due to swelling. For the last 2/3 weeks I have been exactly as I was before bieng banded. Able to eat anything I want and the amount that I want. I have not been binging like I have been used to most of my life. I have been "white knuckle dieting". Now, just a couple days before my first fill I am getting tighter and have restriction. Not the amount I think I should have but very noticable. I layed down to take a nap at 1pm as I have to work graves tonight. I woke up after 3 hours and was like this. What could cause this? very confused. :help:

Not to get too personal, but is it that time of month or close to it? I have found that when I start PMS'ing, until shortly after I start, I am so bloated that I get extremely tight. Also, if I have not been drinking enough Water, I tend to retain it and get tight then too.

Just a couple of possible reasons.

OMG! I think that is exactly what it is. Wow. Good one.
