I thought maybe it was just me, but I'm discovering now that my sleeve is incredibly picky in the morning...

This morning I tried to drink my coffee, the same as I do every morning, and he revolted and told me no. I didn't vomit, but I knew he was unhappy the second the coffee hit. It's been happening a lot lately actually. Yesterday morning I tried to eat a scrambled egg with spinach about 45mins after I got up and got about 2 bites in before he left me know that it wasn't gonna happen...

Anybody elses sleeve not a morning "person"? How do you ease into your daily eating with a tummy who doesn't like food or drink when it's empty?

I've never enjoyed eating first thing. For me, a protein coffee or tea is the answer, though if you're having issues with coffee it might not be your answer. I mix two scoops of Nectar (chocolate or vanilla) with tea or coffee (sometimes hot, sometimes iced) in a shaker cup and drink that up first thing. By the time it's gone, I'm ready for actual food.

Maybe you're one of those folks that needs to start the day with a saltine before anything else. My mom is this way and always has been. She keeps sleeves of saltines around the house and has to eat one or two before she can eat or drink anything else. Weird.

Good luck, hope you find a solution!

my sleeve doesn't care for am's either but I can say if I over eat just a tiny bit the night before I pay for it the next am. So I really try to focus when eating dinner and eat slow so I can tell when I am full. Also stress level makes my morning rough too.

I'm going to have to try the saltines thing... I never was much of a morning eater pre-surgery, but I never had problems drinking my coffee... So weird!

Not a morning person either never was so this is crap I did try to eat when I got up pukesville so now I just wake up and have my decafe cup of tea allow that to settle my tummy down take my vits my liquid calcium then after about 2 hours eat some cheerio’s no its not protein but its what I know I can eat to start the food off in my belly without puking or pain.

Never been a day person really I could go all day till like 5pm without eating pre sleeve it just never entered my mind I work all night anyway so I was always kinda back to front on eat lol

oh yeah just to add i have to drink a hot cup of tea i tried other drinks cold ones its a no go has to be hot and tea

I STILL have not managed to find a protein shake that my sleeve will tolerate at any hour of the day.

HOWEVER....I have discovered that an Oh Yeah! protein wafer will go down nicely in the morning....sometimes two.

Just keep hunting around for things that will work when your sleeve is tight/rebellious. It's a common phenomenon. I have been known to eat some refried beans when my stomach goes on total strike - they're my one "I can eat under any circumstances" food.
