I had my 4th fill 2 weeks ago when i went into my Dr.'s office and had only lost 2lbs. i am now filled with 2.5cc in a 10cc band. My restriction is good but i CAN NOT eat breakfast. I can only drink a protein shake or smoothie and sometimes get away with a yogurt or cottage cheese. Yet, as my day goes on i am able to eat more solid food and soups with pieces in them, and by the end of the day i can get in apx. 3 oz of meat and 2 oz. of veggies. Does anyone else have this daily constriction problem ?

It's really common to be extra tight in the AMs and loosen up a bit as the day goes on. Have you tried warm liquids when you are tight? It helps some to open up a bit.

Very normal thing.....most people seem to be tighter in the morning. I've given up on a normal breakfast......just have lots of warm protein drinks all morning then by midday I can begin to eat.

I'm the same way. I rarely eat anything solid before noon. If I happen to have woken up very early (like 6am), then I can sometimes have a scrambled egg or granola bar around 10. Otherwise, I usually stick to yogurt or cottage cheese, if anything.

My doctor told me to eat a smaller meal at night, and I wouldn't be so tight in the morning. I started doing that and it actually does work.

That's funny that they are related Did the doc say why that works? I'll certainly try it though; I miss eating breakfast!

I have the same exact problem. I can't eat breakfast at all. I am not really a breakfast person, and I do find that the later it gets the more I can eat. I'm okay with it though, because when I don't have this much restriction I don't lose consistently.

Good luck!

My doctor feels that if you can eat a solid breakfast, then you're not properly restricted. He said it's completely normal to loosen up over the day.

Since my last fill, I feel the same way in the morning. I typically go the route of cottage cheese or a protein shake, too. No big deal!
