I had my first fill last Monday and actually feel some restriction. My questions is, when I eat Breakfast my first bite always gets stuck. It doesn't matter if I am eating string cheese or soft scrambled eggs it gets stuck. It eventually goes down, is this normal?

By evening I don't have an issue eating dinner.....

Thanks for the input:rolleyes2:

My doc told me to expect to be tighter in the mornings and more loose in the afternoon. I haven't had any fills yet so that's the best I can offer you sorry. I do believe it is normal though as I have read about others having the same issue.

It is always normal to be tight in the morning. Many people say a hot drink loosens them up. I have never been able to consume much solid food until later. My Dr. always told me to start the day with a Protein Shake. I always have a skinny latte and often a small muscle milk lite. I could probably do oatmeal if it's not too thick. As the day goes on I can eat better and by evening I can eat most anything and have a very healthy dinner!

Yes, my doctor said to expect to be tight first thing in the morning. He wants his patients to drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast from banding to eternity!

Most mornings I drink a shake. If I wait until around 9a.m., I can eat Cereal or a scrambled egg with cheese. I'm tighter in the a.m..

It is very difficult for me to get solids down in the A.M. I usually am running late and don't have time to fix a meal so I drink those small activia yogurt drinks in the morning. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to get it down.

      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.
