I am the same way. I am very restricted in the morning and then by the time the evening rolls around, I am able to eat more.

I am the exact same way. I can't eat anything in the morning, by lunch I can eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food. dinner I eat about a cup. After 9:00 pm I can eat anything and way to much, and just don't seem to get full.

I can't eat at all in the morning. Of course like a MORON I keep trying, and after a few bites of anything get the golf ball in my chest. I definitely open up as the day progresses but fortunately I always have restriction.

I have been like that from the start...I cant really eat in the morning, I can eat a little at lunch, alot more at dinner and then I have to fight not to eat until I go to bed. I have trouble eating bread at anytime except late at night so I know I am definately less restricted after about 7pm.

My doctor, Dr. Kuri, told me to eat my biggest meal for lunch and have a light dinner. What happens is after eating a larger meal at night you swell a bit, causing you to be more restricted in the morning and early afternoon.

I know, I know you can't eat that much at lunch time. Well, if you do full liquids tomorrow, you should be able to eat a larger lunch the next day.

Try it for a couple of days before giving up on it - it sure has helped me to not be so hungry at night.

**Also, drink a full glass of Water about an hour before you lay down at night so your pouch is completely empty. I've read that our pouches aren't supposed to hold food over night - it can cause swelling.

I hope it works for ya'll. I had relearn & reapply last week. I was having the same problems.

Good Luck to all!

Yep, me too. I decided to start eating lunch a little later in the day so that I won't be tempted to eat in the evening. So far I've been getting by with not eating anything after 6PM unless it's yogurt. That has helped me be able to eat something for Breakfast as well because I don't go to bed with a half full pouch of food that won't pass through when laying down.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
