I'm not sure what's going on, but lately I've been having trouble drinking water. I mean, of all things. Tomorrow I'll be banded 4 months, and this "issue" has been only coming up the last few days. My chest starts to hurt a little when I take several sips. I don't think I'm drinking any faster than I have been...?

 

My food intake hasn't been doing too well either. I'm not necessarily eating "bad" stuff (hum, those veggie chips can't be "that" good), but I am keeping track of everything. I'm actually not really eating enough overall. I get busy & don't eat. Then, at the end of the day (afternoon), I start to drag a$$ & get really tired. Sometimes even light-headed. Yea, I know guys. I know better.

 

I think I've just been so busy taking care of my parents (dad), running their errands, taking mom to get hair done (she's been going every week for YEARS), grocery shopping & now I even cook a little extra & drop it off.

 

I digress...

 

So, why am I having this discomfort when drinking water? What's this all about? I've always loved water!

I think there may be a couple reasons. From your other posts, you are under a tremendous amount of stress right now. I have read about several people that felt their bands were tighter under extreme stress. Also, once we get closer to that infamous "green zone" and have more restriction, we can no longer gulp or chug water. I have to sip water or I feel that "lump" in my throat.

Also, if you have irritated it by being stuck on any foods lately, that could be causing it to be tighter.

Try drinking smaller sips and see if that helps. If not, you may need a slight unfill. I have been tighter too when my allergies and sinuses were bothering me in case that may be going on w/ you.

Best wishes to you! I hope this passes soon.

You may be too tight or it could definitely be the stress. If its has been cold one day and hot the next barimetric pressure also has a lot to do with the band.
