Band tightens some days



Recommended Posts

I'm having some issues and would like input. I haven't had a fill for months. Most days I have no problem eating but then there are several days that my band gets so tight I can only drink. If I try to eat on those days I get sick. I've also noticed since I've had the band mornings and evenings my band gets tight making it difficult to eat solid food. Has any body had these issues? Any recommendations? I work in stressful corporate America and I know stress can cause tightens. I just don't understand why this keeps occurring.

I understand that weather change can affect it. Do you wake it up with something hot in the morning?

I drink something hot like tea or coffee before every meal that helps a lot, I have the same problem with my band tightening some days you just have to get used to it and learn to eat again,theirs days when you can eat whatever and then theirs other days when you can only eat soft mushy foods and weather does affect it a lot.

ive been experiencing the same thing. I haven't had a fill for months and up until the last week I was able to eat with little to no problems. Now everything I eat gets stuck even yogurt which has always been easy for me. I've been very stressed out lately recently was laid off, argument with the bf, and worried about money.. i'm wondering if stress does play a big part in all of this. Will the band eventually loosen up or should I have some Fluid removed until I get my emotions under control? I have an appointment to see my dr on Wednesday which i'll certainly talk to him about it then. Just would like some input.

      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.
