Can You Eat In The Heat?

I live in a very dry climate. I have done well since my last fill. I just went on a vacation to a hot and (very) humid climate. I was basically unable to eat all week. When I did eat I vomitted. Not basic pb'ing but actual acidification vilifying. I would still be heaving30 minutes after eating. This was in response to band friendly foods and portions. I finally ate on the 4th day. It had rained all night and was 15 degrees cooler with lower humidity.

Has anyone else experienced this? Or Experienced anything like this? It kind of scared the heck out of me!

Your intolerance for food while traveling might have something to do with the change in climate features that your system is accustomed to.

I live in a very warm, very humid climate, and have not experienced anything like what you wrote about. We are scheduled to travel to a climate very different than the one I live in soon, and will also be at a much higher altitude.

I'm going to hope that I won't have similar experiences as you have had...I will be certain to post about it if I do...

I hope your're feeling better now...

Is there anywhere more hot & humid than Florida????

Dang, what am I doing fat?? LOL

I am feeling much better now that am home and back in my food routines! I live inMontana at about 3500 ft elevation. We barely get humidity. I was in Mexico at sea level with 90% humidity!

Had a great trip I even lost 4 pounds at an allinclusive!!thanks ladies

I am not banded yet but I live in Mississippi, so it's very Hot and Humid and I'm sure it was change in climate. We use to have a ranch in Darby, MT and while the summers got hot...there was NO humidity compared to what I normally lived in and I LOVED IT! I would think it would be similar to me coming there and having altitude sickness. It always took me a day or two to settle in once we got there. I think it's just what our bodies are use to. So sorry you it sick for the first of your trip.

Great job on losing 4lbs while on a trip!!! Hope you had a wonderful time in Mexico.

I am not scheduled to be banded til October so i dont know from experience, but I had the same thought the other day which led me to believe there has to be a scientific explanation for this. In hot humid climates, objects tend to expand, and in cooler dryer climates the opposite. Just like jewelry, my wedding rings fit so much better in the winter because my hands aren't swollen from the heat and humidity. I could assume the same could, and would, happen with the band.
