tight at night



Recommended Posts

I was banded 10/2012. I've lost 31 lbs since. I had my last fill last week, 1/8/13 and think I've finally hit the green zone. However, I've noticed that if I wait too late to eat supper, 8 or 9 p.m., I'm so tight I can't get 1/4 cup down. NO stuck episodes and I can eat fine throughout the day. Anybody else with this?

I don't want to have any Fluid removed, cause I'm finally in the green. I can adjust my eating patterns some, just wondered if anybody else was like this...

Thanks so much!

I have noticed that if I eat late, I am no longer as hungry. Try to adjust your schedule and give the tummy plenty of time to digest before bedtime.

I've had that issue when I have to wait to eat due to working on something. I really have that issue if I lay down to take a quick nap and that nap turns into 3 hours on the couch and I wake up at 8 and haven't eaten. I normally attribute that to having been laying down for 3 hours.

If I were you since you aren't getting stuck I would try and eat earlier and make sure you chew well and take small bites.

I am tight in the morning...I feel it's as it I have to "prime" my pouch for food and eat VERY slow!

I can be tight at night too...my surgeon says being dehydrated or eating too much salt can do it....

      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.
