Tightness Fluxuates?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I was banded 6/4/12. I currently have 8 cc's.

My question is this.. in the morning, my band feels more restricted. In the evening, it feels lose. I feel like I can eat anything (but don't, usually). Is this normal?

Thanks!!

for me this is normal. I am very restricted in the morning, and throughout the day it seems to loosen up. I usually don't even attempt to eat in the morning and lunch is usually a little iffy. once supper comes it seems much less restricted.

Yup, this is very nornal. My doc explained that as you sleep, Fluid pools around the band(think how tight your jewelry is in the morning), and as you move around the fluid redistributes itself.

Yes completely normal. Plus you will find some days its tighter than others there are many causes for this TOM, weather, stress, etc.... one bandster said her band was like a toddler you never know what you are in for. I've been banded for 7 months, comfortable with my restriction, loosing weight yet today my band is so tight that I'm doing liquids. Yesterday I could have eaten a horse, who knows what tomorrow will bring. It keeps us on our toes.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
