Temps Effecting Lap Band?



Recommended Posts

I am so glad I found this thread! So back in June I for the first time ever was not able to get liquids down and had to go in for a adjustment and removed .25cc from my band. Since then I thought I would be hungry all the time etc... So not the case!!! I live in Arizona and our summers are hot. It's ranged from 105-117 the past month. If I am outside too long I cannot eat. I will take 2-4 bites and food gets stuck. I can drink all I want so it doesn't scare me at this point. I have lately noticed this because it's like time windows for me to eat. Mostly after 8pm when I have been inside for awhile. I am going to doctors on Thursday to pick there brains and make sure. I am almost positive that it has to do with internal temperature. When I am outside for more than 15-20 mins I know I won't be able to eat. Any thoughts on it?

I agree and I welcome it! I spent the weekend at the pool and could hardly eat a bite! I was so happy cause I lost a pound. I have been struggling to lose due to a band that is so loose. I only have 8cc in an extra large 14cc band. I purposely go out in the heat now just to not feel hungry!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
