Sometimes Tighter

I wanted to know if anyone could tell me why sometimes my band feels tighter than at other times.

That is the nature of the band.  Have you had a lot of salt?  Time of month?  Stressed? Dehydrated? 

I never get so tight that I have problems but all of the following affect me to some extent:-

stress (both nasty and nice - any strong emotion)
illness
seasonal allergies
dehydration
extreme changes in temperature or humidity.
time of day (always tighter in the mornings)

Yesterday I went to lunch with my husband - ordered a salad with some protein.....I wasn't able to eat 2 bites! I could feel it "stuck" and I ended up in the restroom - throwing up! I took the salad home - and ate it for supper - no problems. I had no idea why. Hadn't had that type of issue before....However, I am VERY stressed as my son has a court case coming up next week. This most definetly affected me! I hadn't experienced anything like it.

 My band is a fickle bit**!!! She gets cranky when she feels the need and only when SHE wants to.. Im along for the ride.. :)  Just remember.. eat slooooowly especially when you are out in public.. This has saved me some embarrassment to avoid PBing while out and about.

I run into tighter times too.  For me it is usually if I am really stressed out (think fight with husband and band clamps up so tight I can hardly gag down a protein shake, thankfully this doesn't happen often!)  or, when I'm dehydrated or that time of the month. It takes a little getting used to but I work with it now and it's not really a problem.
