Reality Check PLEASE!!!

I will keep it short and to the point..


Does anyone else's band tighten like a vice grip when your emotions get going?

The minute I have stress, the damn thing just closes shut.. and nothing will go down.

Give me a few grey goose and cranberry and bring out the turkey dinner...

What's this about?

  2. Honey that is the story of my life. If I am PMS-ing, I get tight for a day or two then it is back to normal. If I fly, I'm tight for a day or two and back to normal. If I'm stressed, tight for a day or two. I think that this is God's way of telling me that if I want my band to work for me like it should and enjoy life and eating at the same time, i need to chill the hell out and not let people, things or random crap stress me out. The Lap Band should be marketed as a stress management tool!!! :) Big hugs to you hon, and you were ROCKIN' that pencil skirt with your bad ass flat tummy!!! So envious!!

  3. Yep...I too respond the same. It's amazing how alcohol
    relaxes me and allows the food to go down again!

  4. I have really noticed this recently also. When I am stressed out at work I have to watch it because as much as I would love to tear into something and crunch away, it rarely goes well.

  5. Ditto. My band is tight even if I'm having a strong positive emotion. It must have something to do with stress hormones like adrenalin and cortisol. Maybe we bandsters should meditate every day.
