Another Restriction Question

Okay had good restriction all weekend - hardly ate a thing but enjoyed what I ate just ate slow and chewed well - today I have no restriction - does anyone know why some days you can't eat much at all but then the very next day you can eat too much and it is hard not to do so. Thanks!

I just posted the same exact question about a week ago!!! It's like the band works with the weather or something...

The band is placed as a fixture in our body so you would think it would work all or none of the time.

I am with you!!! Somedays it does the job... Others is takes a break... and then, Lo and behold its working again!!!

I have a fill scheduled on Friday and dont even know if I should get it as last week I couldn't eat for about 3 days. Today of course, I have eaten plenty!!!!

I hate days where I don't have restriction because I feel guilty if I eat more than I do on restriction days even if it really isn't that much food - but I also hate the feeling of food getting stuck in my esophagus and feeling like it is going to spew out of my mouth if I talk. I had great restriction at dinner Friday night all day Saturday and Sunday - then today I had a protein shake which usually tightens it up because it is cold - no restriction - went to lunch with my daughter - Mexican food which I never eat and ate a cheese enchilada with no problem - I usually can't eat anything like that - then when I got home later I ate 1/2 of a deviled egg and it went down fine and it usually gets stuck - I wish I knew the answer to why some days and some days not - Thanks!
