IM finding that if I don't drink coffee ( very hot ) in the morning , my band does not cooperate all day..

Hi!! Sometimes I do have to drink coffee so my band can loosen, but other times I try to drink it in the morning and I feel pressure. Does this happen to you too?

I drink coffee or latte most mornings but if i don't I do not see my band react differently. And I've been paying attention.

Definitely! I need to drink coffee (or hot tea) in the morning to loosen my band!

I am tight in the morning, sometimes something hot doesn't help and I just have to wait 3 hrs. to have something other than yogurt.

I don't get the pressure thing with drinks, I just literally have to have something hot, it's like I have to prime this thing. Hahaha

I always drink hot tea.. And even then I cannot eat before noon.. If I do it usually comes back up.. I don't know if that's normal or not I've been banded for 8 months with two fills.

My surgeon instructs everyone to start their day with a hot liquid every day to losen the band and wash through mucus. She said that for the people who don't like hot liquids in the morning she recomends that they drink a bit of the warm water when they take a shower. Kinda different but what ever works...

I don't eat in the mornings at all. Just drink.

For those of you who are skipping breakfast because of a tight band, try having a protein shake. It's very important to successful weight loss. I call it my 30/30 rule. 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of getting up. It will keep you satisfied for hours. I get up at 6:00 everyday, protein shake is down by 6:30 and I'm at work by 7:30. I don't even think about food until noon or 1:00.
