Why is the band so unpredictable?

Hi all, I don't understand how one day I can eat something and it goes down sooooo good and the very next day it's horrible!! I got a fill last monday and I feel like my band has to warm up first before I can really start eating? Is anyone else like that? And if so, what do you do? In the morning I drink tea or coffee but I'm trying to find someting else because after a hour I am starving when i drank it. So can anyone put a little light on this situation for me.

thanks

    Have you tried a fruit smoothie with some protein powder in it? That might fill you up for a while in the morning and you can sip on it for a pretty long time too.

  • I know all too well about the unpredictability. And, quite frankly, I'm tired of it.

A lot of banders find that their band is tight in the morning....and cannot do a lot without first "priming" it with coffee or tea. I was always one of these people. AND FORGET eggs, for me at least unless they are poached. I chalk it up to my band being "finicky" and therefore take it one day at a time. I am in desperate need of a fill though.

Anything else that you have learned? I've learned alot from even your last post.

Thanks Kelly !

Make sure, when you are allowed to eat solids, your meat is moist. Pork also gives me a hassle, often it comes right back up. Try everything ! It changes from day to day.
