Is this normal?

I am 12 months post-op and go along pretty well with the amount of food I can consume.

I've recently worked out that that if I leave it too long between meals (longer than 4-5 hours) my band feels a little tighter than normal and I sometimes get things stuck.

I do try to avoid leaving it so long, but on busy days when I don't get around to eating, I've noticed this.

Does anyone else have the same issues?

Yes, this is very common for me. Like you said I try to avoid doing this but some days it's just unavoidable and when I finally get the chance to eat I'm thinking I'm starving but then eat less than I typically do because of the tightness of my band.
