Question for the banders

I was just wondering if anyone has days were it seems like no matter what you eat it does not want to go down. I have even swithcehd things up and pureed or eaten soft foods. That has happened every once in a while and I was just wondering if it was user error or if anybody else has had that experience.
I don't think it is from my last fill(7-10-09) cause basically everything is going down as long as I chew properly and gauge how many ounces I am taking in.
Just thought I'd ask it is probably something I am doing wrong and like I said it only happens every once in a while it's not like it is a daily occurence.

I believe this is normal for lapbanders.  There are many things that can cause this other than user error.  I have found that the more stressed I am, the tighter the band gets.  Also, if I have an episode where something gets hung and I have to slime and puke to get it up, I am over tight the next day (I guess that would be user error).

Anyway, we just have to remember to chew chew chew.  I do better at this when I am eating with other people because I am much more careful.  When I'm at home I tend to get in more trouble.

This is why I named my band SYBIL! 

She has several different personalities.  She's all agreeable one day and the next she's talking in a foreign language not on speaking terms with me! 

I do also believe it's normal for some people to have a body thats more sensitive to any physical changes so it's also also helpful to keep a diary and see if there are any patterns.  What happened the day before a difficult food day?  Did you have to PB and irritate things down there?  Did you maybe have one or two alcoholic drinks (they dehydrate you and make the band tight the next day for many).  Is TOM here or coming?  Are you getting in all 64 oz of fluids every day (this one is my hurdle)?

On tight days I usually just back off the solid proteins and make it a chili day and it appears that sybil is a big fan of the chili since she has never re-gifted that! 

haha sybil that's too funny

thanks for the input I thought maybe it was just me

Hey Wendy....just wanted to let ya know...you are not crazy...the band is! I just went through two weeks of major stress and could not get anything down...I was miserable. Stress was my problem. Hope you get loose soon!

I really thought it was me. I am glad that I'm not completely crazy(a little but life would be boring if I wasn't)

Yeah like today every single thing I have eaten is going down fine. Yesterday nothing I even tried icing from my daughters b-day cake it wouldn't go down. Oh well.

Hugs,
Wendy
