Is Your Stomach Smaller In The Am?

[IMSKINNY 160]

5 weeks post op! I can't seem to eat much early in the morning. Does our stomach shrink overnight?

Mine's often tighter in the evening, for some reason.

Mine absolutely tighter in the morning.Always.Wish it was in the evening as that is when I want to not be able to eat.

Wonder what causes that?

I can not eat much in the AM either but come evening I can eat much more. I dont think are stomach has the capacity to grow and shrink with in a day but have you considered your eating habits before the sleeve? I never ate in the morning and then I would be so famished by the evening I'd binge eat.Or maybe its just because in the morning we are more intune with our tummies? Not as many distractions as mid day and evening?

So tight in the morning its hard to even eat the Vitamins. By 3 I usually can eat.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

Absolutely. At five months out what I find most important is to have softer foods in the morning. Particularly during the early days if I ate something firm at Breakfast I couldn't get more than the tiniest bit in, and then never caught up my calories for the rest of the day.

When I wake up in the am I'm totally hungry - I think. Because I'm not yet sure the difference between hunger, thirst and gas ;p but when I try to eat my stomach won't let much in. I could only get down 1/3 of a hard boiled egg this morning. It gets better around lunchtime. So for me, yes it seems super-tight in the morning.
