I am having a very hard time eating breakfast. It doesn't matter what it is. I feel full after only a few bites. This gets better as the day goes on. Lunch is fine, etc. I get up at 8am, and wait until 9am to eat thinking that if I at least wait for an hour I will be hungry, but I am not. I force myself to eat as much as possible, but it is very little. I don't eat lunch till 12, and I am not hungry in between. I am almost 6 months out. This has always happened. I thought it would get better as time went on, but it is not.

there are some people who just have a protein shake for breakfast since they can't stomach eating solid food in the morning....so that might be an option.

I'm over three years out and breakfast is still tight for me. I think overnight your sleeve/pouch empties and restricts some, and rests like that. When you wake up and start drinking water/coffee/whatever....it kinda loosens things up so lunch is easier than breakfast. I typically pick a slider food for breakfast. I like oatmeal in the morning cause it stretches gently, or half a caramel protien shake in a huge mug of coffee that I sip all morning. Not a fan of dense protien in the morning like ham steaks or bacon or that kinda stuff....though I do like that for lunch:)

I have a shake every morning. I find that my stomach hasn't really woken up until later, so it's much easier to tolerate the shakes.

I am not a fan of protein shakes. I couldn't even do them in the beginning. I tried so many different kinds, but still couldn't find one that I liked.

I don't normally eat "breakfast". Never really did, even pre-op. My first meal of the day is around 12-1pm, basically my entire adult life. ??‍♀️

Ok, good to know that I am not the only one who has a problem with it. Sometimes I try oatmeal, but again, I can only eat a few bites. I can't even eat 1 egg. I eat like 1/2, and I am full. I think your right about the stomach resting overnight. That is what it feels like in the morning, like its starting up again.

Me too. I never really ate it either. I am just trying to do it because of the scheduled plan we are supposed to follow.

I'm 4 months out. I just discovered fairlife nutrion shakes. 150 cals, low carb and 30g protein and it tastes like chocolate milk.

I only tried the vanilla ones, and didn't care for them. I will have to try the chocolate ones, everyone says they taste so good.
