Okay, I have seen others mention the "slime" effect. In the morning I have the hardest time getting anything down. I have to go spit up usually about 2 times while trying to get things such as yogurt down and all it is is what I call "slime". Once I get that up I am able to get down what I am eating.

Any reason what that is from? It's not just Breakfast, it's when I eat any meal.

This didn't start until I got my 2nd fill on 5/27.... I am at 4.1 now.

Thanks for any comments!

For me after I reached good restriction breakfast became non-existant. Many bansters have trouble in the morning. Morning is when I drink Protein Shakes. As far as other times of day, you may be eating too fast or taking to large bites or just eating stuff that you can not tolerate at this stage. Keep bites very tiny (pea size) to get yourself trained. Put the fork/spoon down between bites to slow yourself down. Things do get better with time after a good fill.

I find that if I eat solid food in the morning I am ravenous all day long and I either overeat or am miserable the whole day. Don't ask me why but it happens every time. I need to wait several hours before I eat. My fill dr said that I should drink a Protein Shake in the mornings to wake up my metabolism. I have been doing that since my fill last Wednesday and have lost a pound a day since then. I know it won't last like this but it is great right now!

It all depends...on the things mentioned above, such as your eating habits or you could be to tight. If I couldn't eat at all I would rethink getting a little tiny unfill. I am not hungry in the morning but I force myself to have some form of Protein, such as eggbeaters. I have to eat very slowly and carefully but this sustains me for many hours. lunch is practically nonexistent for me. For dinner I split a chicken breast, yam and some veggies with my husband. Again, all very slowly and carefully or else I end up in the bathroom Pbing and sliming. My point is that yes, I am tight, and have restriction, but I can eat. And you should be able to also. Hope this helps! Best wishes! ps. I can guzzle Water just fine.

      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.
