Previously, my band only felt tight to the point of making me sick at my time of the month, so I had to learn to be careful with what I was eating around this time. However, for a while now, more meals have made me sick than I've managed to keep down.
Being as stubborn as I am and being scared of my good results slowing down, I have avoided getting a deflation. However, it got to the point when I had to admit that I needed one so I bit the bullet and made an appointment so I could start to enjoy food again - not to mention indulging a little bit at Christmas.
