Trouble eating anything in the am

[mslittle 1]

I have trouble with anything except liquids in the morning. My band seems to prefer coffee until about 2 or 3 pm. Anyone else having the same problem?

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).

My band is not even that tight and I have noticed I have no appetite in the am, my routine goes 6 am Water multivitam, 8 am water, coffee yes back to back then I might eat around 1:30pm.
