easier to eat at night

[batestami 0]

I just recently had a fill of 2cc's and had no restriction. My doctor said to come back in if I was hungry and he then added another 1cc, two days later. I feel the restriction finally, but am uncomfortable eating especially in the morning. As the day wears on, I am able to eat a little better. I feel discomfort in my chest (although I am eating small amounts extremely slow) like it is stuck, although it is not stuck. Anyone else feel like this? I am also just starting to realize the foods that I can't eat even though I have chewed and chewed....

Oh, yes, I was the same way as you. There is a big difference between 2cc's and 3cc's. The fill to 3 cc's really kicked my butt. I had the fill to 3 cc's about 2 weeks ago and realized that a lap band 'tiny, tiny bite' means a bite the size of my pinky nail. At 2 cc's I was able to eat any type of Protein that could be cut with a knife. Now at 3cc's I can't eat pork or roast beef. Sounds like you are doing just fine. I read on another post on this forum that everytime we get a fill we have to experiment and relearn what we can eat. Good luck.

That's normal.

First thing in the a.m. when I get up (6:00 am) I drink 20 oz of Water (or crystal light) and then around 9:30 I have a small snack, but often it still makes me choke- it has to be VERY soft.

I eat a real lunch at noon, but it's small.

I consume probably 80% of my calories in the evening!! I feel like I'm pigging out, but I realize that every day I am still getting in around 1100 calories, so it's not bad.

I was exact same way for a while, I drank slim fast or carnation instist Breakfast in the a.m for some extra Protein then had a small lunch then like froggy said i ate most of my protien at supper time i was wide open then , then i could eat at around 5 or after.

I cannot eat first thing in the morning either. I have tea or coffee and then I am out the door for my long commute to work. I usually eat around 8:30 or 9:00 am.

I'm the same way, tighter in the mornings. I drink a Protein Shake in the mornings usually because I'm in a hurry and it just takes too long to eat.

It's funny how each fill changes the things you are able to eat....it's like you never know until you try them.
