Tightness in the mornings



Recommended Posts

I had my third fill since my surgery 18 months ago and prior to this I never really had to change my eating habits, but after this last fill I am finally experiencing what I have been told are stuck episodes and restrictions from the band. I can hardly eat any breads (maybe a small bite or two), morning tightness and eating in much smaller moderations. I can't seem to eat solid foods until after 1pm. I'm worried I won't be gettng enough nutrients by 1pm.

First, FYI, you hijacked this thread. Don't take this the wrong way but you'll always get more response if you start a new topic with your own heading. That way, hundreds will see your post and may respond where here, only a handful are following this thread and your responses will be few.

You haven't filled in your profile so it's hard to advise you? Have you lost weight? The foods you mention are typically difficult for many of us to swallow. Do you think you've mastered the eating small bites and chewing to a complete mush before swallowing?

      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.
