Easier to eat when relaxed?



Recommended Posts

Im am wondering if anyone else has this problem, my previous post got me some good advice on possibly needing a slight unfill, however I am question that at this point -

During the week, lunch break at work and dinner as soon as i get home dont go down well at all.. i end up stuck, pbing, hurting,, feeling horrible.. but i am off on saturdays and sunday, and home - I was able to eat a small sandwich on super duper thin bread toasted and had NO problem!!!

I am wondering if going out to eat and eating at work dont work work for me because I am stressed or rushed or self conscious.

It seems that if i have dinner 2-3 hours after getting home from work i am relaxed, can eat slower take my time and have no problem - fill after about 1/ cup of food ....

I found today - after a huge fight with DH that getting upset and worked up causes me great discomfort in the center of my chest and where the band is....

Anyone else notice this happening ?

I call my band my "stress ometer". When I am stressed to the max my band tightens. I am unfilled now. Maintaining my goal weight and will not get a fill until I feel my stress level will reduce.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
