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...

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.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
