High Fructose Corn Syrup

Has anyone noticed that eating High Fructose Corn Syrup makes your band fill unrestricted? I have been trying to really change my diet and eat better and take my Vitamins and fish oil and have been doing and feeling great. I have been taking the amino acid glutamine in addition because it is supposed to help you lose fat weight and not muscle when you are on a calorie reduced diet. I have been taking a powdered form mixed with a small amount of cranberry juice and have only been eating real foods, nothing processed. About 2 weeks ago, I went to GNC and they had the glutamine in a chew form so I opted to get it instead of the powder. After about 3 days I started that my band felt like someone removed it and I was soooooooooooooooo hungry. It didn't seam to matter what I ate, I was like a bottomless pit. I couldn't think of what in the world was going on and I scheduled a fill, which won't be till next Monday. Anywho, after 5 days of feeling bandless again, I started thinking that the only thing I had changed was my glutamine, so I looked on the stupid package and the chew form was loaded with High Fructose Corn Syrup. I stopped taking it and felt like someone put my band back on. Has anyone else noticed that when they eat something with High Fructose Corn Syrup, they feel no restriction at all?

I avoid HFCS like the plague.. so I don't know if consuming it would make me feel bandless, but your response doesn't surprise me.
