I haven't had a fill in a few months, as a matter of fact I had some removed? One day I feel just fine with my restriction the next day food struggles to get down and I feel uncomfortable. Why the inconsistencies?

Fickle Band Syndrome.

Actually, mine seems to be directly related to my monthly cyle.

Try tracking it over the course of a month or so and see if there are any patterns.

Makes it hard to know if you should be filled/unfilled when changes happen for no apparently reason.

I was actually just wondering if it was associated with monthly cycle. I had lots of restriction last week, then barely any this week. Things that make you go "hmmm".

So should we adjust for the 1 week or the 3 weeks???

Yeah...I don't know.

I ovulated a few days ago and last night, I was up coughing because I'm too tight. Totalllllly sucks - especially because I was just right last week.

My plan is to stick with liquids and soft foods for another day or so and see how it goes.

I'm frustrated with the back and forth. So, so frustrated.

We'll see how tonight goes (during the day, I feel tighter than I have been, but not too tight).

(Mm..yeah, this is me feeling sorry for myself.)

xo

I suppose the band tightening is just one more thing to add to our lovely dispositions during cycles...

Thanks for the info!

how do you get unstuck? also, why is it at times I get stuck with foods I normally don't get stuck with?

I get unstuck by either laying down or standing up and walking - it will eventually either go down or come up. Others mention papaya enzyme - I'm going to see if I can find some today to try. Sitting makes it hurt worse. I honestly don't know why some things bother us on some days and not others. For me, if I take too big of a bite, I'm doomed. That is my biggest challenge, to remember to take small bites and chew very well.

Good luck!

I had stress tighten me up last Sunday. I thought for sure I was going to have to call my Dr. for an unfill, which only stressed me out more. Luckly relaxing and some sleep seemed to fix the problem!

I am ALWAYS! ALWAYS! tighter during my Monthly cycle, It sucks but I usually just try to take it easy on what I eat which is hard because I always crave the bad stuff during that TOM...:thumbdown:

WEll i FOR one am a man and i have the the problem with ok one day and tight as hell the next and the only way I get by is waiting a day and things get better on there own. sometimes warm broth seem to help. Others nothing works but a good PB. sometimes it all just sucks but it is worth it in the end.
