Steve Is Not A Morning "person"

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.< /p>

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!

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.< /p>

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
