I had my band put in about 5 years ago since then I have had 2 little boys and got derailed. Anyways since my last child I have noticed that I have trouble eating first thing in the morning and then once it gets warmer though out the day it gets even harder. I might take 3 or 4 bites and feel like poop. It really doesn't matter if its a scrambled egg of baked chicken I end up feeling like crap. How ever once it starts to cool off I have no problems eating normal stuff. Anyone have this problem ?

A friend said she had this problem. She said what she did was about 30 minutes before dinner, she'd take a bite or two of something, and then by dinner, she was able to eat. I'm sorry--hope this helps!

I'm a fellow bander who shares the problem of not being able to eat in the a.m.

coffee or tea seems ok. By the afternoon, if I can try to get a little lite lunch in, (Soup. Small salad etc)

I'm better. If I wait, the first food has to be easy on my stomach.... Once I feel more open, I'm ok for dinner.... I tend to eat early

Just another major adjustment I made to my life to make it work at a much lighter weight. Not always convenient, but way better than any day I had at 250+ lbs!

I am trying to figure out if its because I have put on weight in the last 2 years due to my last pregnancy and some issues with the IUD hormones that have cleared up since i had it removed or if this will be my new normal. I have tried even eating easy foods in the day time and it just sucks. It is nice to know I am not alone and I just have to keep looking for something that will work for me.

      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.
