Can't eat in a.m....why?

Woodys · September 13, 2006

I'm with you Carol.....I share the exact same attitude. I have been going through pure hell with this band at times.....and nothing is consistent except not being able to eat in the morning. I know I do better when I eat very slow too....but sometimes I just plain forget!

But........I'll put up with it as long as it takes the weight off and keeps it off. I can eat pretty good at times so I will do my best to get proper nutrition...but if I'm going to have to continue with the mealtimes when I can't get anything down then so be it! I'd rather the weight be gone!

Hi....with this last fill I can't seem to be able to eating even one small bite of anything in the a.m. and keep it down. I develope a horrible painful gas ball in my chest, it takes forever to pass and sometimes the little bit of food comes with it....this morning I couldn't manage one bite of a soft poached egg. This has happened everyday since Thursday (my last fill). I can't seem to eat anything at all until dinner time, sometimes that is difficult, yet sometimes I can manage to eat a bit more than I thought I could and foods that I thought I couldn't manage I can.
Does anyone know why it's difficult for some of us to eat in the a.m.?

HI there! Welcome to my world. I found out right away that I could not eat any Breakfast and usually have to do Soup for lunch to get restricted enough for dinner. They did NOT mention this at Seminar but I am learning there are a lot of us in this club. I call it the no breakfast syndrome!!!!

Dr. Malley says there are a lot of us with this. There are NO scientific answers for it and many have theories. Hang in there.

Poodles, I agree with you. When I lay down at night it lets me pull Fluid off.................and my ankles are the least swollen in the morning. So I know there are many theories out there but I think they do not really know why we have this syndrome.....no breakfast ......with our band.

My doctor recommended that if that happened to me to sleep on a 30 degree angle. He says it helps with band swelling at night. It's worth a try.

Hi,

I've only been banded since July, but ever since the band, I don't eat solids until about 10:00 am. I get up, have a cup of coffee and make a Protein shake. I'm up at five thirty am, and have to catch the bus to work at 6:30, and some days I don't even finish my shake.

I put the remainder in a container and finish it at work when I get there.
