Shawn we were banded on the same day, My anniversary is Friday and I really wanted to me my Dr Goal for me of being 165 but I guess 177 is ok.

Morning Tightness... How to cope...
I have very bad morning restriction and I can only sip on tea or coffee. I never eat too much or late at night. After my 3 fill it gave me that type of restriction everyday. I eat lunch at 12 or later and it usually consist of weight watcher and i can not even eat over 8oz. sometimes 4-6. I eat a healthy snack or a small salad later in the day. Usually at night I am still full from my snack. I can get Warm tea and coffee down, no more than 4 oz but i can not drink cold liquids at all in the morning because it will come up. Good luck, I had to get used to not being able to eat in the am.
