Have been banded since 7/5/12.. Everyday since then, when I wake up early I suffer extreme nausea.. Pregnancy has been ruled out. So anyway, I guess I'm just wondering if any one else suffers early morning nausea..

I read a report that said our bands are naturally tighter in the morning, which had some banders questioning whether to have Breakfast or not. When you are experiencing nausea, is it before or after eating in the morning? Like CG said, when in doubt, definitely check back with your doctor just to be safe!

Dennis i bet you are absolutely right! I can't eat or drink ANYTHING for the first few hours that I'm awake.. After a few hrs pass I'm fine! Thanks so much for the response! I have a life time of nausea meds.. It's just a little pricey for me, but I guess it's time to save up!! I am so frustrated with this feeling! I'm going to see my dr tomorrow, I am gonna bring this up and see if there's anything else I can do to ease this mess! lol

Thanks again!

Good evening! I would definitely run it by my doctor and get his or her input first, before moving forward with any type of medication. I am curious, how much Fluid do you have in your band at this point? It would be easy to say you have too much in your band, but you were only banded in July, so that doesn't seem possible. I know a lot of folks opt to drink Protein shakes for breakfast, opposed to creating band and nausea issues in the early morning. Apparently, our bands tend to open wider later in the day, which allows easier consumption of more solid foods. Please let us know what your doctors says, because it would be interesting to see if they agree with the forums!

I had 4.5cc in band, I am now at 5.5cc today in a 10cc band.. Dr said it's normal and felt I would be okay with a 1cc fill.. I've gotten a cup of Water down, with no problem.. Today I am on Clear liquids and tomorrow, will be on mushies. I will be paying more attention to how I feel tomorrow morning since having a fill today.

      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.
