NJGirl32 43 Posted October 7, 2011 For the last 2 days I was hardly able to keep anything down, I PBed on shrimp and had a really rough night. Yesterday I PBed on my way to work after I ate a teeny bit of tail mix-had to pull over my car. I couldn't really eat much the rest of the day. I thought I might have had a slipped band. I was googling it and getting info. Well today I get my period. I was able to eat again with no PBing. Does anyone else have a fickle band that time of the month?

screeden 21 Posted October 7, 2011 mine is super tight two days before my period, so just drink liquids for those days and it seems to help with the tightness and bloating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracieR 88 Posted October 7, 2011 Mine is the same way. A couple of days before I get super tight. I just do soft foods for a couple of days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klariade 7 Posted October 7, 2011 Oh yeah, I feel ya! When I'm PMSing I can eat like a bear, it's crazy almost like I have no band. BUT, when Aunt Flo comes the first two days I am shut down TIGHT! Nothing more solid than cottage cheese is getting through. Luckily it's only 2 days and I'm back to normal. You'll get used to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJGirl32 43 Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks for all your replies! I feel better that I am not alone! Next month I will now know the reason I am tight-I actually thought my band slipped, but right afterwards I was able to eat without any problems at all! Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennifer1 180 Posted October 22, 2011 Glad I saw this post..I got a fill on Monday and I feel really tight..I was able to get some soft things down but then my cycle started and now I can't get anything but liquids down. I paged my doc and he hasn't gotten back to me and its the weekend. I'm praying that the reason I'm so tight is cuz of my cycle..I've been banded 5 months and never has it been this tight.

Salsagardengirl 2 Posted October 23, 2011 We sound like were going throught the same thing. I am also at 5 months and just got a fill on Wednesday. The first 24 hours after the fill I was on liquids, next 24 soft foods, the next day I was fine. I started my period last night and today I can't even get down liquids. This is NOT fun!
