Banded from nail biting???

I've always been a nail biter.... but I've noticed that since I got banded, I'm not biting my nails anymore!!!!

I'm really not sure why I feel like the band is what made me quit but it has! I guess I've been worried I'd swallow a piece of finger nail or something! Any body else not biting thier nails since banding??

OMG the same thing has happened to me!! i am so freaked that a nail bit will get stuck that i havent bitten in forever.. they are super long and i cant type anymore!!! the band is solving all kinds of my problems!

I haven't stopped nibbling my nails completely, but I definitely noticed that my nails are stronger and harder than at any time since pregnancy. I think it's the high-protein diet. And you might just be less inclined to bite nails that are so strong and resistant!
