Can you get liquids down in the AM?



Recommended Posts

I have alot of restriction in the morning, to the point where I can't usually e njoy a meal until 3pm or so.

I woke up this morning and tried to have a Protein Shake, and boy was it tight .It defiitely was backed up. How small must my opening be to not even let liquid flow down freely? I dont have an overfill because after 3pm Im good as gold to have nice sized meals. I guess my sips were too big or something. It took about 45 minutes for the liquid I drank to go down, and it wasnt even half a cup..

Any comments??

hi,

i find that i am REALLY tight in the early mornings (wake up at 530 to go work out). i can usually drink a bit when i'm finished (730/800ish), but if i try to drink during, it is just aweful, i felt nauseated and just not right. i have my first fill next Monday so i'm thinking it will get worse. :)

I am also very tight in the mornings and can only do liquids until about lunch time.

Not sure by your name if you are a female or not, but is at or close to that time of month? I get so tight during the first few days before and for several days during that I am limited to practically liquids only for the entire duration.

I can do liquids in the morning but sometimes I feel them quite a bit. Try a warm liquid before your Protein Shake, like a 1/4 cup of hot tea. That helps some people.

I have never had a problem with liquids in the morning. I do wait an hour or so after waking up before I attempt to eat. I don't know why except I just don't "feel" like eating first thing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
