Does anybody find that being stressed can make their band feel a little tighter, and therefore interfere with what you can eat??

I have had a particularly stressful morning at work and having just tried to eat my lunch, I am struggling...

Would this be a contributing factor to what I can or can't eat???

Absolutely. Stress makes me feel like I just had a fill. So just go back to the basics with liquids and soft foods so you are not over doing it.

Thanks @@Dolores33778, was beginning to bother me because I haven't felt that kind of thing before. As long as there is a fairly simple reason for it, I know I will get past it. xx

Yep, just go with it and enjoy the additional weight loss. Stress has helped me to maintain my loss for 3 years now. At least it has some benefits!

Yes! We were even told that at our pre-op seminars.

Many things affect the band's workings. It's too bad that it came as a surprise, but now you know.

Yes it sure can. I ended up in ER when my mum died. The band got so tight I couldn't swallow my own saliva! So I am very wary now when stressed.
