Hello MissKentucky-GA,
There are a number of products that have properties to them that
expand in your stomach to make you have the feeling of being full.
However, I want to tell you before I start this answer, that you
should NEVER take anything, prescription, supplement, etc, without
first speaking with your doctor. ONLY your doctor can tell you what is
safe for you.
Propolene
http://sea-silver-central.com/
"Because Propolene consists of 100 percent natural fiber, it will
expand in your stomach says the pills manufacturer, the Obesity
Research Institute."
What actually expands is the ingredient Glucomannan. However, be
advised..."Better Business Bureau has received more than 160
complaints about Propolene in the last four months alone, earning them
an unsatisfactory rating."

Advaslim has Chitosan as an ingredient.
"The chitosan fibers in Advaslim are unique in that they are
engineered to expand in the acidic environment of your stomach. This
results in the reduction of appetite and the feeling of fullness - you
will be able to eat less without feeling hungry."

Once again, PLEASE talk with your DOCTOR before taking anything to
lose weight, **especially** products like these. I am not recommending
these products, nor am I against them. I am merely telling you they
exist in order to give you an answer.
If this answer requires further explanation, please request
clarification before rating it, and I'll be happy to look into this
further.
