tatsmom 0 Posted February 13, 2006 I usually wake up pretty hungry but find it hard to even get a slim fast donw. I have to take it slow. One swallow then wait for it to pass the band. Do any of you experience this super tight band in the morning? At night I know I could eat a whole chicken breast though I don't let myself. This is how my doctor determines if you need a fill or not. Here's my problem...if I can eat a whole chicken breast at night this suggests that I need a fill, right? But if I can't hardly drink a slim fast in the morning how will that work if I do get a fill???:cool: I hope this makes sense. BTW...I am one week post first fill. Doc wants to know in another week if I need another fill or not. Thanks for any help!!!:help: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess_n_thep 2 Posted February 14, 2006 No breakfast for me since my fill in Sept. Only warm liquids. I miss breakfast foods, but I just eat them for dinner if I really want them that bad. Who says you can't have hashbrowns and eggs at dinner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banded_for_life 2 Posted February 14, 2006 You might try eating an heavy lunch, light dinner and don't eat anything past 7p. I have always been able to eat breakfast, but have a VG band. You might try some small curd cottage cheese chewed well and see if that won't go down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dolphin_dreams 0 Posted February 15, 2006 I am tight also in the mornings and drink a shake. I've heard many people say that they drink a cup of hot tea first which helps open things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teresita 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Yep hot tea seems to help in the morning or whenever it's really tight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seppi 0 Posted February 19, 2006 I can only drink about 1/2 cup of coffee when I get up. I do that, it takes about 20 minutes. I wait about an hour then have anothe cup then a shake. All goes down slowly. Nothing else is going to go down until about lunch time. Lunch seems to be the best time of day for me. I seem to tighten up at dinner a little. I can eat just not very much.
