Anyone Not Tighter In The Am?



Recommended Posts

I was just banded three weeks ago. I am a little discouraged to read a post below with everyone stating they are tight in the AM and cannot eat at all or only a shake, then totally loose and eat everything and anything at night.

Can I hear from some people that have had their bands for a while that have consistent restriction? Or is this true for everyone. I really would love to eat a healthy egg Breakfast.< /p>

Thanks,

Laura

I am tight all day long.. I have a hard time eating at anytime of the day.. But worse in in the am.. I have only had 2 fills and was banded almost 9 months ago.. So there is hope for restriction all day long...

I have never experienced the tighter in the morning thing. If anything I have more problems at night(but that might be because dinner foods are harder to eat than breakfast foods). For breakfast I usually eat a poached egg on 1 slice of wholemeal toast. If i'm not in the mood for that then I will have oats or homemade muesli with greek yogurt.

I have been banded since 09 and never tighter in the morning. It is quite consistent.

Sometimes when I go to bed, I feel like the day of a fill, in my chest. It is like I can feel myself breathing.

first off you are still newly banded. please focus on getting healthy.

people that eat everything and anything at night will not lose weight. and you do not want to follow in those foot steps. you should only eat at most, a cup of food at any one time.

you wont get restriction until several fills so you will have to eat smart, Portion Control and food choices that

are healthy.

in the morning i feel tighter and do drink a shake for breakfast. i have a small breakfast to hold me over until lunch.

I have been banded since March 2012 and dont feel tight in the morning. Like Carolina girl said you are early in the process and there will be plenty of time to feel restriction but for now just focus on healing. Also a cup of food or less is really the amount you will eat once you have good restriction before then you will more than likely eat more just because you have no restriction and the same size stomach. Be sure to eat healthy foods and always protien first. I have had 4 fills (4.1 cc) and still have very little restriction but I am getting there. Everyone's band is diffrent just listen to your body and only eat if you are hungry.

Banded 2010 (Dec). It seems everyday is different. Normally I cannot eat breakfast early. I can occasionally have an egg with chopped ham. But now that I'm at 5.5cc for me, oatmeal, cream of wheat, cottage cheese with mixed yogurt and granola is my style. I can't do bread at all, maybe a small baby bite of whole grain toast...but not my preference as I risk a stick with bread. About a cup each meal.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
