Stuck and Sliming in the Morning but not at Night ?



Recommended Posts

I am almost a month out of surgery and for the past few days I have been getting stuck and sliming during Breakfast. I am thinking its cause I am so freeging hungry at 8am that I scarf down my food... but I took it slow this morning and the same outcome .

Is the band tighter in the morning or something ? Help ?!?!?

Many bandsters feel tighter in the mornings. I usually can not eat food for Breakfast. On days I work I drink a Protein Shake for breakfast. On my days off I can eat oatmeal or something after I have been awake for several hours.

The band is usually tighter in the morning. Try a hot cup of tea or something to help loosen it up.

I was banded a year and a half ago. Yes, my band did feel tight in the morning and I couldn't eat anything. My nutritionist told me to drink a glass of milk for my Protein, that worked and now I am finally able to eat breakfast early morning

I think most bandsters experience this - I know I do!

I try to drink something warm before I even attempt to eat anything. Of course, some days, it's 11AM before I'm even able to get anything down.

By dinner time, I'm usually good.

Well, luckily, I've never been much of a morning eater anyway - I'm not one of those people that can get up and just eat. I need some time to adjust to the day. LOL

I know that this is struggle for a lot of bandsters though - usually Protein Shakes are what I hear from everyone.

My band is tighter in the AM. If you're a coffee drinker get some Unjury Protein unflavored powder and add to your coffee. Just remember that you have to wait until your coffee gets under 130 degrees before adding the powder. But I don't taste any difference and that is already 20 grams of protein right there. That should hold you for a little while until you can eat yogurt or something to eat.

Good luck.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
