Stress affecting my Band



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 01/16/13 & everything is going great. I did learn today that becoming stressed made my band feel super tight. I normally am not put in highly stressful situations at work but today was just one of those days:( Just wondering if I'm the only one to experience this when stressed??

Oh yea, my band will let me know when I'm stressed, sometimes before I realized I'm stressing.

Thanks ladies:) It was a first for me. I'm thinking it may not be a bad thing...I used to eat like crazy when I got home after a stressful day. Well not so much today I felt like my band was strangling my stomach. No more stress eating for me???„

Yes, stress affects your band and a good thing to keep in mind when you think of fills. Go slow, my friend. If you're still responding to stress this way when it's time for a fill, be very conservative. It's great that you are very in tune with your body and the stress response. Best of luck to you on your band journey!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
