Trouble eating anything in the am



Recommended Posts

I'm definitely tighter in the morning. It was explained to me like this. You know how your feet swell during the day, but then when you lie down and sleep, the swelling goes down? Fluids, blood, are affected by gravity. When sleeping, fluids are redistributed throughout your body and tissues. What may have been in your lower extremities in the evening is now back in your upper body and organs. Your band is a ring around part of your stomach. If your tissues have more Fluid in them when you wake up, the restriction around your stomach will feel tighter until later in the day when the fluids tend to migrate downward due to gravity again.

Sounds weird but makes perfect sense to me. I am definitely tighter in the earlier part of the day and the loosest in the evening.

Same here girls. After trying for years to eat something in the morning, I'm resigned to liquids (protein drink or bar)until my band opens up.... Around 2 or 3 or so ....

Then I get my Protein meal and veges in. Around 6 or 7 a bit more protein and maybe a carb

Maybe a bar after dinner

Nothing too close to bed assist of us have experienced

Glad it is not just me with a stubborn band in the AM

I can eat after about 11.00am however what I am also experiencing is random tightening in the back of my throat. to v uncomfortable, nor does it last long, I can just feel it. Do you have this too? (Had my surgery over 5 years ago and also have had a slippage fixed).

      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.
