Cold Much Better Than Hot(on being tight)

In 2 1/2 yrs I haven't really experienced being to tight with a fill.  However, I think I am experiencing a little to much tightness with this last one.

I noticed weeks ago that my morning latte didn't sit well with me.  Instead it's a cold iced coffee that does.

Seems kinda strange to me...anyone else?

I've never experienced a tight band, so I'm not much help.  The good thing with cold working better than hot, is that with warmer weather, cold drinks would work out okay!   : )

I think some people's bands are just plain silly and we all have different things that work better than others, so I guess your band sounds normal.

That's interesting.  I'm the opposite.  I wonder if the cream/milk is what you feel pooling above your band.  If that's the case, you may be too tight.  I assume you use milk/cream in your iced cofee too, but I think the consistency changes when it's cold vs. hot. 

Keep an eye on your level of restriction.  Trust me, keeping a too tight band is no fun AND it's counter productive to Weight Loss.  You may lose a few pounds in the beginning, (because you can't eat much), but then your body will start holding on to the calories you give it be cause it's being deprived.  You may also turn to soft, slider foods because that's all that will go down and those are usually not the best food choices when you're trying to get in 60-80 grams of protein.

Yes, I've lived with a too tight band and all I got for it was a slight unfill where I gained weight!  Not even a t-shirt!

Take care!

I'm actually having the same lattes that I've always had.(tassimo iced coffee & hot lattes) 

It definitely has something to do with this last fill.(over month ago) 

It's just that you hear(and has been my past experience) that hot usually opens the band up, so to speak.  I just curious as to why that changed all of a sudden.  Might just be one of those things you don't figure out.

Thanks for the replies.
