Too tight in the mornings

[Elliemayclem 31]

Does any else have a problem of your band being too tight first thing in the morning? A lot of times I can't even swallow water! Later on it loosens up, I have to do Protein Shakes for Breakfast, have to wait a while before I can drink that, even.

Am I doing something wrong? Could it be overheating the day before? Can't say I've never done that, haha. I have no Fluid in my band right now, kinda afraid to get one because of the tightness in the mornings, scared it will close off completely. Been under a lot of stress lately, my 14yr old grandson is living with me now......

I'm usually really tight in the morning and stress really closes me up. coffee or some warm liquid helps with that.

I have had my band five yrs I can not eat breakfast I have to do liquids till 11 am if I don't do liquids in the morning I have to skip lunch... As far as I have been able to find out this is normal for lap banders...I am carful to have a well rounded diet ... I have lately started doing protien shakes in the AM...

I had my surgery 14 months ago and still have a Protein Shake for breakfast every morning because I'm just too tight in the mornings for real food. By lunch time, I'm fine and eat normal.

I had surgery over 2 1/2 years ago and I also still have a Protein Shake for breakfast. The few occasions that I've tried to eat a "regular" breakfast, it has almost always come back to bite me in the backside!

Not a big deal to handle, just accept it and move on! coffee first to relax the band a little and then a delicious Protein shake a while later.

I do not consider it a problem...

I have not had a solid breakfast in 2 years...I have a high Protein smoothie I make in my blender....as the day goes on, I am able to eat more easily......

I find this common with many banded people

I have coffee during my commute and then Greek yogurt with half scoop Protein Powder and high Protein Kashi at 9:30-10.

I have coffee before work and then a Protein Shake or Protein Bar (solid but melts in my mouth) approximately 2.5 hours after I am up.

Thanks y'all! I still wonder why it does that, but I can deal with it I guess.
