Day to day restriction??

Just posing a question.. Does anyone feel like their restriction can vary daily even if they know that they are in the best "sweet spot" that they have ever had? In my past 6 years of being banded, I feel like my restriction varies according to my health (such as having a cold etc.) and my stress levels. Being sick or stressed make me extra tight. What do you all think? What is your experience?

My restriction varied from day to day and from morning to night. I was always to tight in the am and wide open at night. This wasn't a good thing for me as nighttime eating has always been my problem. Also when I flew (rather from the flying or the stress of flying I'm not sure) I would get too tight and it would take a couple days to get back to normal. Being sick or stressed always made me extra tight too.

I experienced a variation of restriction with my older band, some days I was looser and some days tighter, but with my new band, and at my sweet spot, my restriction is very consistent, I am little tighter in the morning and lunch and just a bit looser in the evenings, but overall I can't much at all and my hunger is dimmed, I love my new band!

I never noticed that. Take 20 minutes to eat cos that's how long it takes the brain to register that you're full.

I know a few people take only 15 minute to register they're full. Right now it only took me 10 minutes to feel full, I feel the Lord has been kind to me. The Lord is kind and God is good. I don't blame everything to God or the devil either. Sometimes my bad.

Shouldn't we all lap banders eat 5-6 meals a day? or are we all different?

I get different answers. The Lord only knows the truth. He is the truth the way and the life. I wanna know the truth about lap band. Anybody here can be my lap band buddy here in southern claifornia? it's beautiful here in chino california and I need someone like a lap band soulmate cos I can't do this on my own. I do not wish to be obese and die at 61 like my father did.

I only got 1 friend or 2 online buddies vivian and coconut. But they live very far. I also want close friends. I am a nice person and very friendly so I wish to make more friends who can raise up together with the lapband.

highfive!
