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

Thanks all for your helpful info !:biggrin:

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.

What do you do about hunger... i am starving when i wake up ! Waiting till 11am seems like tourture.

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.

whats sliming?

I was thinking the same thing. What the heck is sliming??
