So I have read about so many people being tight in the morning that they do not eat. Does that mean you will have problems drinking water?

I have definitely PBd water before. The secret is to sip it and not gulp.

If I could not get Water down at any time of day. i would consider myself too tight and get a little fill taken out.

That would be too tight for me, others don;t feel the same becasue they need/want strong retriction when the band opens later in the day.

I consider myself tight in the morning, but I mean I cannot eat solid foods until lunchtime. I can definitely sip water. Sometimes I can drink a half a cup of coffee. If I am hungry, I'll have yogurt or Carnation Instant Breakfast. I cannot eat eggs or fruit or cereal. If you can't drink water, I would imagine you're too tight (I wake up thirsty!).

I consider myself tight because I can't eat solids. But I have no problem drinking a protien shake or slimfast and a cup of coffee. Since I didn't have any solids to wash down I slowly drink at least 2 glasses of water before lunch.

does the temperature of fluids you drink tend to affect the band? also, what does PB mean? I'm new....

PB stands for Productive Burp meaning you burp up food. I have seen some use it to refer to vomiting. There is a thread I stumbled across that had the meaning to many of the acronyms used on this site....I saved it as a Favorite.

I cannot eat in the mornings. Anything I drink in the morning that is cold I have to sip. Hot beverages like coffee or hot tea go down almost as they did pre-surgery.

Same here for me, too tight in the AM for food most of the time, or it takes absolutely forever to eat a small amount, so I just have a protein shake in the morning. That way I also get my protein requirement. Good Luck to you.
