super tight in a.m

[want_so_bad 0]

i have tried searching for this, but am not finding it. i am sure there are other posts about this, so i am sorry for the repeat. any direction to previous posts would be greatly appreciated, as well as new responses!

banded 10/4/07, first fill 11/13/07, second fill 12/27/07.

i am super tight in the morning and loosen up as the day goes by. why is that? i know i have read about it, but, like i said above, now i cant find it.

i am frustrated with myself. i am having a hard time with most food, things get stuck very easily. so i find myself eating bad things that i know will go down, just because i am hungry. i am losing since my last fill, but i know i would be losing faster if i was making better choices.

last night i bought stuff to make Protein smoothies, which should go down alright. and be better for me then the crap i have been able to get down!

so for those who are having the same issues but are making the right choices, what are you eating that goes down ok but is good?

I have posted a few times to this topic in threads. So rather than retype it all, I'll jsut be lazy. :smile:

Cannot Eat During The Day Have Had 2-unfills

Can You Eat Soup?????

Expectations vs. reality

And a poll I started on the topic: What's your restriction pattern?

What goes down ok when I'm super tight... not much. It can take 45 mins or more to feel that a drink of soymilk has cleared. If I'm OK tight, then I go for things like Soups or very wet meat salads (tuna salad mainly), yogurt, etc. but I have to go VERY slow, like it could easily take me 2 - 3 hours to eat a yogurt single serving.

wheetsin-i knew you were one of the people who had responded to the post i had been reading! thank you.

also, when i reread my orginial post, at the end when i asked what people eat that is good, i meant good, like good on plan/track/healthy, but good, as in tastes good works too!

If you have a problem with solids until early afternoon it is best to start the day off with a Protein Shake followed by soft Proteins until dinner time when you can eat solid Protein. Cottage cheese, chili, tuna salad, those types of foods until dinner. This is very common with the band.

I was also told that if you drink something warm in the morning it helps to open you up. I haven't tried that yet. I can barely manage to get down my medications and then I wait an hour or two before I eat anything and then it's usually only oatmeal.< /p>
