Fill too tight & stress ???? help
Hi, I have had my 3rd fill now since May 28th. the first few days after I was of course restricted, but since it seems the restriction has not reduced. So, why not a good thing ? Well at first I thought my stress leval was just too high and was causeing stress to my tummy, but now 3weeks later i still feel too tight. The crazzy thing is during my morning i can handle oatmeal or cream of wheat. for lunch i have about 4 bites chicken salad w/ whole grain club cracker. I tried other foods but cant seem to hold them down. They get stuck easily. In the evening, some days the restriction is virtually gone, but others I can barely eat. I am very confused about this? Any suggestions ? Any ideas ?
My weight is fluctuating the same 3lbs which makes success difficult to acheive. I am getting non- flavored protien to stir into my oatmeal maybe that will help since i feel i am not getting enough protien.

Yes, sometimes it is very confusing. I am learning still. I know now that I can't eat when rushed or stressed. I wrestled with a nine pound gain. Then I started keeping a food diary and that helped. I also added some resistance training to my workouts. My DR also says that you can have more restriction if you have allergies-like pollen and grass, etc. That may explain why one day is tight and the others aren't
Be strong. You can work the band.

Thank you, I Never considered allergies may cause a problem. I have sever allergies and take meds to control them.
At work during my 30 min lunch I hve resolved to simply having yogurt or a protein drink cuz people end up talking to me and it seems I cant talk and eat .. just a small problem. At home as soon as I feel that soft stop, I STOP. It isn't easy learning what our band is telling us.
Again, Thank you very much for the information
