Tight in the morning



Recommended Posts

Well, I knew there was a reason I needed to take the time to come on this forum. I only started to notice lately that I have a hard time eating in the morning. I am often hungry in the morning depending on what I ate the night before. I am going to have my second fill on Saturday.

I wanted this second fill so badly and now I am sorry. I am so tight in the morning, and if I eat anything in the morning I am in trouble all day long. after having a small piece of zucchinni bread after a morning cup of tea I knew I made a mistake. I have been throwing up all day today even water.... I will be calling the doctor first thing in the morning.

The same thing happens to me. I am very tight in the morning and just have a cup of coffee. I used to try and eat but I will stay stuck by the time I get to work and it is so uncomfortable. Now I know that I will not be able to eat anything until after 2:00 p.m.

Mine is very bad in the morning. I can barely drink Water and I've gotten sick on milk. My friend suggested it may have something to do with being horizontal at night and vertical during the day. I'm starting to think that has something to do with it because I was sick one day about a week ago and took a three hour nap - dinner was then impossible. I don't know exactly what the band looks like but could it smoosh a little while we are lying down? I know I wasn't dehydrated because I'm very careful with that part.

I'm to the point where I'm very tight in the mornings. I usually have Carnation Instant Breakfast. That way i at least get some good Protein in. By lunchtime I can eat food but I get full pretty fast and then by dinnertime I can eat alot more.

for those with bands too tight in the morning, as soon as your feet hits the floor start drinking Water. Might take a couple of glasses but it will help and also thin out the mucus. This is what I was told to do and it works.

I was told warm/hot tea helps alleviate the tightness in throat in the morning. If nothing else, it sure feels soothing.

I am definitely tighter in the morning and looser at night. I usually have a cup of milk and a big glass of Water in the morning. I get hungrier around 11:00 and then have lunch. I am good until around 5:00 and then I get really hungry. This is not good because I am looser and can eat a lot more. I have lost between 75 and 80 pounds in 18 months and have not even come close to gaining any weight back, but my weight loss has really slowed. I really want to lose the rest of the weight so I am going to get a fill tomorrow and just accept the fact that I am going to be pretty tight in the morning. I have 5.5 in my 10 band and I am hoping 6 will be the magic number. I just need more restriction at night!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
