Stuck and Sliming in the Morning but not at Night ?



Recommended Posts

I am almost a month out of surgery and for the past few days I have been getting stuck and sliming during Breakfast. I am thinking its cause I am so freeging hungry at 8am that I scarf down my food... but I took it slow this morning and the same outcome .

Is the band tighter in the morning or something ? Help ?!?!?

Many bandsters feel tighter in the mornings. I usually can not eat food for Breakfast. On days I work I drink a Protein Shake for breakfast. On my days off I can eat oatmeal or something after I have been awake for several hours.

The band is usually tighter in the morning. Try a hot cup of tea or something to help loosen it up.

I was banded a year and a half ago. Yes, my band did feel tight in the morning and I couldn't eat anything. My nutritionist told me to drink a glass of milk for my Protein, that worked and now I am finally able to eat breakfast early morning

I think most bandsters experience this - I know I do!

I try to drink something warm before I even attempt to eat anything. Of course, some days, it's 11AM before I'm even able to get anything down.

By dinner time, I'm usually good.

Well, luckily, I've never been much of a morning eater anyway - I'm not one of those people that can get up and just eat. I need some time to adjust to the day. LOL

I know that this is struggle for a lot of bandsters though - usually Protein Shakes are what I hear from everyone.

My band is tighter in the AM. If you're a coffee drinker get some Unjury Protein unflavored powder and add to your coffee. Just remember that you have to wait until your coffee gets under 130 degrees before adding the powder. But I don't taste any difference and that is already 20 grams of protein right there. That should hold you for a little while until you can eat yogurt or something to eat.

Good luck.

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

      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
