Tight in the morning



Recommended Posts

I hear (and have read) that many are tight in the morning. How tight is tight? I'm fine without eating until lunch, but what about drinking? What time do you loosen up?

Everyone is different. Just because that's the case the with some people it doesn't mean it will be with you.

I'm tighter in the mornings. I just have a Protein shake for Breakfast then a regular food lunch.

Btw, liquids should NEVER be a problem for any reason. If they ever are, the person is too tight.

Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited about my surgery, but I'm a little overwhelmed with all of the new terms like feeling tight. I know this is a whole new lifestyle change and I am so ready for this, but except for my weight, I have been very successful in every aspect of my life and I'm so worried about screwing this up. I have been 100% compliant with everything so far, regarding Vitamins, and pre-op diet, still a little concerned.

If you have a weight problem... Believe me being tight in the morning is the reason you are going to lose the weight... Its not a happy feeling but it is the only feeling which will stop you from eating or getting the weight back after dieting. Its gonna become a second nature, and you will adjust fine.. And you will enjoy many many other things in life.

I am VERY tight in the morning...can drink Water with no problem but it takes me about an hour to drink a cup of coffee or a Protein Shake. However at night I have very little restriction so I don't want to get my band loosened. My biggest battle is not to over do it at night and to eat small frequent meals during the day so I am not soooo hungry at night time!

I was able to drink Water, but I could feel it going down and that it was just sneaking by. I'm much better now and looking forward to lunch! :-)

Warm liquids in the morning help be get the day going. No problems at other times.

I just past my 7th year Banniversary... out of the 7 days of the week I may be tight 3 of 7 mornings. I usually drink a few sips of something warm then wait 10 minutes then eat my Breakfast.< /p>

I can go 3 to 4 week and and have no tight mornings at all... again each person is different. My doctor said this normal for me.

I noticed I am a little tight in the morning.. but after my coffee and a little time, I can eat my breakfast as long as I don't eat too fast... I think it's normal for some to be a little tighter in the morning..

I wasn't tight but for some reason this week I am. Had grits yesterday morning and threw them right back up. So I did liquids the rest of the day. Had coffee this morning, Water and finally had a little egg with sausage around 10:30 am and have been up since 6:30 am. Hope this helps.

I am tight in the mornings so I stick to Protein Shakes or mushiness and get very full quickly. It is awesome and a great thing!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
