WOW, that hurt! I have not felt that before! Just had my third fill last Friday and never had restriction. Now I do and holy cow what a difference! Was eating a piece of blueberry muffin for breakfast and bam, felt like someone was stabbing me in the back. Hurt like h€{{! Should I do liquids? Still fell it a little!

Your Blueberry muffins in the AM days may be over. drink water if it goes down lucky you , are you sliming ...if so go to the bathroom lean way over and it should slide out if not drink some water and repeat process of leaning over, Now that you are feeling restriction chew chew chew . Things like muffins are probably not on your plan at this point PROTIN FIRST....... Bands are usually tighter in the morning......Good Luck let this be a learning experience...

You are right! Def a learning experience! I think my bread days are over! Before this full I could eat whatever I wanted, of coarse proper choices! Not any more! No slim! I am sitting in the a auto shop, really no options! But you are right! Hunger sometimes gets the best of ya!

Actually, it doesn't mean you can't have bread anymore. I have great restriction and still eat things like bread, rice, and Pasta daily. I just take very small bites, chew it until mush, and pause between bites.

With that said, I don't attempt bread in the mornings. I am way too tight when I first wake up. However by lunch time I am fine to eat whatever I want.

Good Luck!

Thanks, I'll remember that!

Do you try Cereal for breakfast?

Once in awhile I'll have a bowl of Cheerios for breakfast, but usually I have a Protein Shake for breakfast. I can eat cereal just fine in the morning, though.

Not a huge cereal fan! I like my eggs!

Why protein first?

Protein fills you up and lasts longer. I can't eat bread toasted or otherwise . Take it slow eat small bites and pause between each bite. When you feel the restriction stop eating don't force it. Good luck I have had my band for a while now n am at 5 ccs in a 10 cc band. Feel good n losing again after a long stint of gaining . Good luck to you! I Am down 70 since the beginning n want to lose 75 more n keep it off!

Trying keeping a box of Protein bars at your place of work. Check the calories. But they do help with the hunger. Look for the protein count as it is the protein that keeps you full.
