tight sometimes??



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone else every have their band feel really tight sometimes, and then like its not there at all other times? Quite often I will drink something and can feel my band, or eat and the food instantly feels hung up for a few minutes, then clears.(this tends to happen at night and hurts!)

Then other times I can eat almost anything, and alot,with no problem and no pain. Am I the only one?

No you are not the only one......there are other posts on here regarding this issue...people say that the weather messes with their band. I know when aunt flo is coming to visit I get tight. This thing is never the same!

Yep, I can vouch for that! Just last week I was on here moaning about the disappearance of my restriction - yet woke up yesterday morning - and bam! It was back! Bizarre!

When I saw the title to your thread, I thought, yep, I have tons of tight clothes.. But I see that's not what you meant..LOL and those are not only tight sometimes, their tight all the time.... Hello my Florida friend, I don't have much restriction at this time so there are few things that I have a hard time eating, but when I first got my band I did experience that sensation you are talking about. I get filled tomorrow, so hopefully I can finally have some restriction and start losing some of this ugly weight.

It comes and goes all of the time for me. Sonce my last fill, it is luckily here mor often than not. Maybe it just depends on the amount of fills. I am pretty sure everyone has the same problem

I am really tight right now. I was filled last Friday and can't seem to eat anything of substance until around 2pm and then it is very slow and very little. I don't know if I am too tight or not. I am going to give it a few days and see h ow I am doing. I think I am getting my calories and nutrients, but I just can't eat much at once, I have to speread it out.

I am tight first thing in the morning, sometimes I can't even get in more than a few sips of coffee, then I loosen up some in the later morning, I can usually eat bandster size portions in the late afternoon, then in the later evening I tighten back up. This is varied and I can have unexpected periods of relaxation in the morning or at night, and it is subject to how I'm feeling, my monthly visitor tightens me up, colds/sinus issues tighten me up... it took some paying attention to my band habits before I realized how it was working for me, and now I plan my intake around it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
