having trouble eating in the am



Recommended Posts

so lately i can really not eat much until like after 12 pm or 1. Breakfast is a no go at all

i think i may be a little too tight . Sometimes lately i have issues eating and then i just won't eat . I was having some PB issues there for a while

i would eat something little and yup back up it would come . I can not really eat salads anymore . My question is how do you know when your band has all the sudden gotten too tight. I do burp a lot . I guess i just need to eat slower and try to eat more frequent . i have problems with a lot of food that i am just afraid to eat in fear it will come back up . I am tiring to loose the last 20 lbs and my body will not budge . I need dome helpful meal and snack ideas as well

Thanks

My test to suspect being overly tight is this: food consistency is the test. Take Progresso Soup for example. If you can eat Progresso Soups like beef and barley, chicken noodle Soup, fajita chicken soup or most any of the Soups with small bits of meat and well cooked soft vegetables, you're not too tight. I still chew most all of these bits of meat, vegetables, rice and barley before swallowing. I also still eat very slow so that it usually takes me a good 15 minutes to eat a can of soup.

So, if you can eat soups(not the creamed soups) with meat, veggies, rice or barley, you may not be too tight. If these foods still cause stuck and PB episodes, you may need a small unfill. I had .25 CC taken out once and it made all the difference I needed.

I have not had a solid Breakfast in years....I have a high Protein smoothie, and it gurgles when going down...

Gets better as the day goes on.

I stalled for several months and went on the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet. But I changed it up to a 4:3 diet. I've lost 17 lbs in the last 3 months. Here's an overview if you're interested?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
