Can the heat affect your restriction?

That protein shake sounds wonderful! Where do you get your powder protien from and what kind of protein do you use? I bet I could use a vanilla atkins shake and blend it all together, but I wi**** was more protein? what do you suggest? thanks
I rarely use milk for my protein shakes, I prefer the tart citrus of the oj. I like my "shakes" more like smoothies.
Yes, I"m sure you could use an atkins shake. The GNC Whey is 120 calories for 1 full scoop and 20 grams of protein. I only use 1/2 scoop though, because 1 full scoop is close to 1/4 cup. When I'm making just ONE shake/smoothie, 1/2 cup powder makes it too think and kinda grainy. No thanks. LOL

It's the opposite for me - cold weather my band is tighter, warm/hot weather it looser. My first thought is how much water are you drinking? If are outside in the heat my suggestion is to increase your fluids and decrease sodium. Dehydration equals tighter band!
If increasing your fluid doesn't help you may want to talk to your doctor about a tiny unfill.

Yes, humidity has a lot to do with the band tightness, but so many other factors influence it as well. It's all part of living with the band.
Add high heat and high humidity and you may really feel the tightness. You just have to eat less or eat more slowly. I notice the tightness in the really hot and humid weather, but also when I'm under stress or exercise as well.
It's so fickle and we just have to learn to live with its strange behavior.
Best,
