I miss eating breakfast in the morning. I want to eat, but nothing goes down. I tried eating oatmeal the other day and that was o.k. But I really can't eat in the mornings. I have been really tight for like 2 days and then all of a sudden I could eat today. But not breakfast. But I really get fustrated because I really get hungry around 9 or 10 o'clock and CAN"T EAT!!:eek:

Try drinking something warm first to help loosen up your band :eek:

What about a liquid breakfast? In Australia we have a product called "up and go" which is essentially a bowl of Cereal and milk in a milk drink form. You could look at having a Meal Replacement shake for breakfast and maybe a piece of fruit? Just til you get into the habit of eating at that time then you could look at other options.

A lot of people are too tight in the mornings for solids (me included). I am rarely hungry in the mornings, but when I am I have a SlimFast shake or a Yoplait Whips Yogurt.

Try protein shakes for a while. At first I couldn't eat in the morning either, but now I can have eggs or oatmeal or something but I still can't do any sort of meat.

The worst is when someone offers to buy you and your family really expensive brunch. (especially on a sunday morning after you had a couple drinks on saturday) My Dad (doesn't know) brought my husband and I out for brunch at a fancy fancy hotel, and paid nearly $20 a plate for us. At the end of the meal everyone was trying not to stare at me FORCING myself to finish the 1 plate I got. I will never eat brunch again!

LauraJ, what is a port revision?

I miss eating breakfast in the morning. I want to eat, but nothing goes down. I tried eating oatmeal the other day and that was o.k.

Take a look at the Kashi oatmeals - they have a little Protein (could up it with Protein powder and/or milk) and a good portion of Fiber which might be satisfying. Cottage cheese (I looove the chive flavor) has a similar texture to oatmeal but more protein - if oatmeal goes down okay, maybe cottage cheese will, too. Or Fage yogurt - lots of protein and really different texture (creamy, not liquid-y - more like sour cream) compared to regular yogurt - I flavor mine with a tiny bit of honey or a squirt of sugarfree Da Vinci syrup. I get Fage at Trader Joe's or at a local natural foods grocery.

Good luck!

Cereal is the devil since my last fill. Anytime of day, when I try to eat Pops, Life, Muslix, or Cheerios (those are the ones I like), It gets stuck in the first bite and I hurt for a while. Muslix is the same kinda make-up as Kashi Go-Lean cereal...So I just threw all my cereals away. If I keep them around, I try them again every once in a while and hate myself for it!

My port flipped completely backwards & was inaccessible.. so they operated and moved it back around and they moved it to another stable location.
