Just got my first fill the other day. I have heard people say that they are tighter in the morning. Is it possible that I'm also tighter in the evening? lunch is the only thing going completely smooth.

Sure that's possible. I am finding that since the weather has gotten cooler I am tighter in the evenings. I'm not having any trouble eating my meals, but I do find that I am not as hungry for it when I get home which is a good thing. Sometimes my drive home can take an hour or more and when I'm too hungry I eat too fast and then it's not a pleasant experiance.

Weather and barometric pressure has a lot to do with your band. If it's raining mine gets super tight.

in the a.m., i am tight (not hungry is a way to describe)

if i am stressed, i am also on the (tight) side....and around my TOM..

ole man asked me what i meant by tight one day (after i got him out of gutter)

and i said i just feel full/not hungry...

my doctor once again wants me to buy a cheap ring. it will tell me if i have some swelling going on so i will be more careful with chewing and timing and what i am eating. i told her that the first ring i put back on my finger is my wedding band. i am so hoping that on dec.27th that will be a score. i will be married 28 yrs. and would love to wear my ring. so i showed her my medi-alert Bracelet that is stretchable. she said that would work too. i think i am tighter in the morning too. never gave it a thought before but i don't recall a stuck episode other than morning. weird.

My problem is that I've gotten stuck or almost stuck eating things I was eating before my fill. Only in the morning and evening. lunch goes down fine, which has been a lean cuisine pizza and it's way more bread and seems like something I would get stuck on more than the things I've actually gotten stuck on.

This ring thing is interesting to me. So, they are saying how a ring or Bracelet is fitting you could determine how your band is fitting?! Has anyone noticed that this worked? May have to get me some right hand bling while I wait for a man to get me some left hand bling!;)

My "right hand" bling is tight right now and i was only able to take in 2 bites of left over cold pizza.

I was wondering if it was bcuz it was cold that its getting stuck but also possibly bcuz its morning

Last night when it arrived hot i got down an entire slice!

I am tight in the mornings. I have to sip a cup of hot tea before I can even think of having my morning smoothie. I was not like this before my second fill and the cold weather we have been having, but I am liking it. I am eating about a 1/4 cup of solid food again and feeling satisfied for a few hours. At night I am able to eat a little more, but only a bite or two more.

      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.
