I am not able to eat breakfast anymore unless its something soft like yogurt. Anyone else have this problem? I also cannot tolerate ANY bread, ANY rice except for sushi rice and pretty much no pasta....

I cant tolerate anything milky in the mornings, I now start the day with a green tea, then about 11am I can have proper tea. Cant eat Pasta, rice, bread, tuna or any fish, chicken is a struggle.... can eat mash potato, find if I make it really mushy its a nice filler and then Im not hungry for hours and mince like in chilli etc is fine....

What are you filled to?

I have been having problems eating or even drinking anything at all until after 3 in the afternoon.

I have my protien shake in the mornings because I can not tolerate breakfast at all. I also have not had bread, pasta, and rice pretty much for 2 years now. Occasionally I will try to eat some sushi and usually can eat ONE... . I used to miss the bread/pasta... but not so much anymore. I would like to be able to eat rice, but it tends to clump up on my and just make me miserable.. so I avoid it. But the main thing about breakfast for me is I think my band is pretty tight in the mornings.. and doesnt seem to losen up until around 1 or 2... I know that everyone is different when it comes to that, so my experience may be different than yours and many others. But that is how I solved my breakfast issues... just with my shake in the am. Then usually grapes or fruit around 10 or 11... then I typically have tuna salad or chicken salad with a few crackers at lunch. My main meal is usually around 5 or 6. If I had more willpower I would stay away from my snacks.. but I tend to have some wheat thins in my desk that I snack on around 3 or 4.. which is my downfall right now.

I can't do breakfast either. I'm just now eating a bit of toast and cheese and it's 11:40 am. I can do bread as long as it's toasted. But not a whole sandwich. I can do an english muffin though.

I am filled to 5. But last month I was at 4 and I felt like I could eat way too much! I am not having a problem with drinking anything at all just food. I tried to eat pot roast at a friends house the other day and I chewed it until it was nothing and still almost threw up. So I pretty much have to eat stuff crunchy or very very soft....I cannot eat anything in between. I still feel hungry a lot though so its just weird! My friend had her surgery in oct and she can eat everything but cheese and rice.

@tylee...That sucks! You probably feel like crap not eating or drinking until 3!!

Never feel like eating in the morning, just don't have an appetite. I if do have a little bit of an appetite can only eat very little in the morning.

I don't really miss bread and pastas anymore. I just am learning still what I can tolerate I guess lol. I just had my surgery in jan. So I guess i am not the only one who can't eat breakfast. I usually do my protein shake in the morning but I decided to try to eat eggs and some wheat toast and my body was like NOPE!! lol.

You have to be very careful not to fall the pattern of NOT eating until 2 or 3 though.. that has been a huge issue for me and ultimately is keeping me from losing the last bit I have to lose. Your body wont start burning that fat until you start it's engine... So make sure you are getting in that protein FIRST thing in the morning with either a shake or something. It is so easy to get going in your day's routine and just not eat... because if your like me, I really am not that hungry in the mornings at all... but it is a BAD habit to start !

I have not had a slid breakfast in over 9 months now.

I have my coffee, then a high Protein smoothie.

I can eat eggs, etc if I wait 2-3 hrs after I wake up.

On vacations, I will go to the gym first, then can have breakfast with my wife a few hours after.

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I really appreciate it esp since I have only had two fills now. I guess I will just stick to the protein shake in the morning!

My patient advocate told me there are four things most people struggle with : steak, pasta, rice, and bread. He also said most banded people cannot eat breakfast and they either do a shake or nothing. He said he hasnt eaten breakfast in years and he is just fine with it. I have not had my surgery but I was pareparing myself that those items and issues will likley be my expirence.

I cannot eat anything in the morning. I have problems drinking Water if I wake up in the middle of the night thirsty. I usually have coffee in the morning then my Protein shake. Usually by 11:00 I can eat something, fruit, cheese stick, not alot but I can get it down. My doctor says this is normal.

I cannot eat bread unless it is toasted. I do not think I have tried rice yet. Steak is a 50/50 thing sometimes I can eat it sometimes I cannot the same with chicken. Fish goes down fine. I do not eat a lot of Pasta.

It's normal. I sip on a skinny latte from 9-10 then have yogurt and Cereal between 12-1.

Starting from 3pm I can eat anything with little restriction since I am not that tight yet - I try not to

I learned to love the yogurt

I cannt eat anything in am I have a protein shake then eat a small snack them lunch.

I used to get up in the middle of the night and drink a little water. I did now that I can't lay down for like 20 min after I drink anything because it feels all sloshy and makes me nauseous. What's that all about??
