Tight Lap Band ~ Am Vs Pm (?)



Recommended Posts

I had lap band surgery on April 9th; 1st fill on June 6th (with NO restriction); had 2nd fill in July (WITH restriction now, YEAH)

I have noticied that my band is tight in the mornings. It seems to loosen up as the day goes on. Can someone explain why this happens or if it happens to you as well (?)

Thanks

yes, in the mornings i feel i am (tighter) and not hungry at all.

i have heard from other postings on here that happens (when at night we lay flat)......but i consider it a good thing. i do think it may loosen up

later on the day.

(i have no fills yet, just plication)

My band is tighter in a morning. I drink warm liquid (coffee) to help loosen it up. Then about 2 hour after I wake up I can eat. As the day goes on it gets looser.....come evening it can feel too loose. Plus it veries from day to day. You will learn how finical your band can be. Lol.

Mine is tons tighter in the mornings. I have a Protein shake for Breakfast every morning because I'm simply too tight and not hungry enough for actual food.

Interestingly, if I take a nap during the day, when I get up it's really tight all over again.

In stark contrast, at night I could the entire fridge if I wanted to. There's a huge difference in my band tightness from morning to evening.

      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.
