Well I ate it OK last night . . .

I do think the reheating of the rice added to the stuck. I too was told no microwave food because it can become to dry. IF I do chance heating something up I always add a little Water and make sure it's covered.

I did add Water to the rice, but won't try reheated rice again. I definitely do think the time of day sometimes has something to do with it. Sometimes I can eat more at lunch, sometimes dinner. It changes, but it is rarely the same at both meals. I know mornings are just a cup of coffee then about 1/2 hour later a Protein Bar and I'm usually good till lunch.

Why would the band be tighter some times than other times - I have not had a fill yet but I hear so many different things from people and it gets confusing to me - Thanks!

I would love a thorough but simple explanation for that, too. But it just IS. Gravity while you sleep...maybe?

I can't get much of anything down before early afternoon. Like the Protein shakes I drank after surgery -- now I can take about two sips and it takes a half hour for that to go down!

Things improve as the day goes on. By dinner I can eat most any kind of food as long as I take small bites and chew well. But I absolutely would not be able to handle "last night's" leftovers until late afternoon/evening unless it was SOUP!

:biggrin2:

Technically, the band isn't tighter. Your body has some excess swelling during the times when the bands feels tighter. Not sure what causes it though. I would have to agree that the bad is fickle though.

Hey, maybe someone else is experiencing this. I can't eat scrambled eggs as they get stuck every time I've tried them. I've been trying to eat eggs over easy which seems to go down fine. Lately though, they make me sick to my stomach. This isn't "band sick" this is really down in my stomach. It's weird. Anyone else have foods that now make them feel like that? I aways ate them pre-band without a problem.
