Tight in the morning



Recommended Posts

I hear (and have read) that many are tight in the morning. How tight is tight? I'm fine without eating until lunch, but what about drinking? What time do you loosen up?

Everyone is different. Just because that's the case the with some people it doesn't mean it will be with you.

I'm tighter in the mornings. I just have a Protein shake for Breakfast then a regular food lunch.

Btw, liquids should NEVER be a problem for any reason. If they ever are, the person is too tight.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited about my surgery, but I'm a little overwhelmed with all of the new terms like feeling tight. I know this is a whole new lifestyle change and I am so ready for this, but except for my weight, I have been very successful in every aspect of my life and I'm so worried about screwing this up. I have been 100% compliant with everything so far, regarding Vitamins, and pre-op diet, still a little concerned.

If you have a weight problem... Believe me being tight in the morning is the reason you are going to lose the weight... Its not a happy feeling but it is the only feeling which will stop you from eating or getting the weight back after dieting. Its gonna become a second nature, and you will adjust fine.. And you will enjoy many many other things in life.

I am VERY tight in the morning...can drink Water with no problem but it takes me about an hour to drink a cup of coffee or a Protein Shake. However at night I have very little restriction so I don't want to get my band loosened. My biggest battle is not to over do it at night and to eat small frequent meals during the day so I am not soooo hungry at night time!

I was able to drink Water, but I could feel it going down and that it was just sneaking by. I'm much better now and looking forward to lunch! :-)

Warm liquids in the morning help be get the day going. No problems at other times.

I just past my 7th year Banniversary... out of the 7 days of the week I may be tight 3 of 7 mornings. I usually drink a few sips of something warm then wait 10 minutes then eat my Breakfast.< /p>

I can go 3 to 4 week and and have no tight mornings at all... again each person is different. My doctor said this normal for me.

I noticed I am a little tight in the morning.. but after my coffee and a little time, I can eat my breakfast as long as I don't eat too fast... I think it's normal for some to be a little tighter in the morning..

I wasn't tight but for some reason this week I am. Had grits yesterday morning and threw them right back up. So I did liquids the rest of the day. Had coffee this morning, Water and finally had a little egg with sausage around 10:30 am and have been up since 6:30 am. Hope this helps.

I am tight in the mornings so I stick to Protein Shakes or mushiness and get very full quickly. It is awesome and a great thing!

      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.
