Less restriction in evenings?

Hi! I'm new here. However, I've had my lapband since January 19th of 2010. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never asked this, but does anyone feel a difference in restriction between morning compared to evening?

Very common. I was told that lying down all night distributes tissue fluids evenly throughout your body. So the tissues surrounding the band are "plumped up", if you will. As the day goes on, gravity pulls fluids down the body. My feet are more swollen at the end of the day, for example. Since the upper body fluids have traveled south, the tissues around the band are not as "full". The result is a lesser feeling of tightness.

I don't know if this is what's actually happening, but it makes perfect sense to me, and it matches my experience.

I absolutely agree. I tight in the morning but not as much at night. I wish it were the other way around

An article was posted by a doc a few days ago. 13 things you need to know when you have a band - something like that. Apparently the band has different phases during the day, morning it's tight as the body waking up and at night the esophagus is in full swing.

Now I finally know why I always choke on my Breakfast.

I get the same issue as all the above. liquids only for Breakfast. Then chicken salad or yogurt type food for lunch. For dinner I'm ok to have a bit of meat, vege and maybe a little rice or sweet potato.

Definitely changes from am to pm.

Sometimes I have breakfast food for dinner because I miss having a nice breakfast.

Glad I'm not the only one!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
