When I had the lapband, I had trouble eating early in the morning because my band was still tight. I've only had the sleeve a few weeks but have noticed the same pattern. Mornings are tough to get my protein drink down, just not hungry but by dinnertime, my appetite is definitely increased

@ Mine doesn't change throughout the day but it changes from day to day. Sometimes I eat ok and other days I'd rather just drink my shakes and eat quest bars. I don't Have any hunger though so it's easy for me to just not eat.

Oh BUT if I drink a bunch of water 90+ oz I feel like I can eat more...weird I know. Before surgery people would always say "oh just drink a lot of water it will keep you from being hungry" bull! Total opposite!

I have days like that too - some days I'm just not hungry - like yesterday - I had to force myself to have a yogurt, then Cereal - I'm diabetic and was having an off day.. so that's all I felt like. Being diabetic, just eating the Protein doesn't always work for me.

It seems to me also that if I drink a lot of water, by mealtime I can eat more. That reminds me of the band too- if I didn't drink enough the band tightened up and I would have trouble eating.
