I am the same way. I am very restricted in the morning and then by the time the evening rolls around, I am able to eat more.

I am the exact same way. I can't eat anything in the morning, by lunch I can eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food. dinner I eat about a cup. After 9:00 pm I can eat anything and way to much, and just don't seem to get full.

I can't eat at all in the morning. Of course like a MORON I keep trying, and after a few bites of anything get the golf ball in my chest. I definitely open up as the day progresses but fortunately I always have restriction.

I have been like that from the start...I cant really eat in the morning, I can eat a little at lunch, alot more at dinner and then I have to fight not to eat until I go to bed. I have trouble eating bread at anytime except late at night so I know I am definately less restricted after about 7pm.

My doctor, Dr. Kuri, told me to eat my biggest meal for lunch and have a light dinner. What happens is after eating a larger meal at night you swell a bit, causing you to be more restricted in the morning and early afternoon.

I know, I know you can't eat that much at lunch time. Well, if you do full liquids tomorrow, you should be able to eat a larger lunch the next day.

Try it for a couple of days before giving up on it - it sure has helped me to not be so hungry at night.

**Also, drink a full glass of Water about an hour before you lay down at night so your pouch is completely empty. I've read that our pouches aren't supposed to hold food over night - it can cause swelling.

I hope it works for ya'll. I had relearn & reapply last week. I was having the same problems.

Good Luck to all!

Yep, me too. I decided to start eating lunch a little later in the day so that I won't be tempted to eat in the evening. So far I've been getting by with not eating anything after 6PM unless it's yogurt. That has helped me be able to eat something for Breakfast as well because I don't go to bed with a half full pouch of food that won't pass through when laying down.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
