Does anyone have the problem of not being able to eat until mid morning or lunch time? i have tried mushy weetbix and optishakes but nothing will go down in the morning. By lunch Im fine

Yep same here. I feel sick if I try to eat breakfast.

I don't eat breakfast until at least a couple of hours after I wake up and I've usually had 2-3 cups of coffee before I can face it. I take my brekkie into work with me and eat it around morning tea time. My doc says if you don't feel like breakfast, don't eat it! Save the calories for the evening when you are hungry.

Mmm weetbix, I'm definetly going to miss breakfast after I'm banded, I never used to eat breakfast but I had to go on medication that I have to eat with and got in a pattern of it - I don't think it'll be that bad though, I heard that after about 3-4 hours you can eat which isn't too bad, I mean that way you can eat fruit or something for morning tea/brunch right?

Everyone is different Sarah - you may be able to eat breakfast just fine (like me). I love oatmeal, or a poached egg on toast on Sundays.

Sarah, everyone is defintely different. My problem isnt being able to eat breakfast in the early am or when i get up,

my problem is what can I and should I eat for breakfast that will be healthy and sustaining..

Eating early in the AM hasnt been an issue with me at all.. go figure..

Good Luck,,, we are all pulling for you..

True, I've been thinking about breakfast solutions - if I am able to eat and the only that I can really think of that I like is stuff like poached eggs, weetbix, baked beans on toast, I figure there pretty good I mean baked beans thats half your fibre and heaps of protein right?

Haven't been able to eat breakfast for about a month now. 10am I can eat a tiny bit and finally eat decent around 2pm. HOWEVER, although I absolutely cannot stand oatmeal, I tried it this morning around 9am and was able to eat it. They say your tastes change after weight loss surgery and I think it finally happened to me. I actaully liked the oatmeal and plan on trying it again tomorrow. Since its a mushy, I think it goes down nicely in the morning for us who have problems eating in the am. :cool2:

I talked to my doctor today about this after reading this thread. She said it is VERY common for pts to have a lot of restriction in the morning, and that's why her office doesn't do fills before 11:00am. Weird huh!?

I imagine it has something to do with being horizontal while sleeping and maybe it taking a few hours for gravity to pull things down again, to a point where you feel OK to eat.

i cant eat in the mornings at all. i even find drinking Water very difficult.

However, I had a cup of tea this morning and it went down fine. I havent drinken tea in aaaages, perhaps its the temperature of the drink ?

Not sure.

I dont really drink Hot drinks often. Will have a cuppa again in the morning and see if it goes down alright.

I was wondering if it was normal...atleast now i know it is.

I've only had problems with breakfast since I reached restriction. Before that I could eat a horse! (almost literally!) So maybe it is a restriction factor??

Oatmeal is definitely the easiest breakfast to eat. I love weet bix and oatrmeal so I'm lucky. But weet bix is not so good now.

I'm not a fan of Weetbix, I like Vitabrits but now I have discovered I love the new Oatbrits...I find that once the milk has softened the cereal, it is nice and mushy :eek:

i got a fill on w-day last week and can only have liquid untill about 1-2pm very sloppy weetbix r ok..

i cant contemplate breaky till mid day just too tight.

i have a large cup of tea followed by my multi Vitamin drink and wait then

i have tried a few times but seems i am just way too tight-and i am not hungry at all.

Initially I didn't eat breakfast. But then I got wise. And don't take this the wrong way, it's just the way it was for me! I spoke with my nutritionist who told me that an Up-and-Go and yoghurt for breakfast was not ideal (slips through). I needed something a little more solid to satisfy my hunger. I started small and soft, and then gradually built up so that now I have either porridge with a banana or cottage cheese and mango. I can eat a horse at breaky now and it certainly satisfies me for the morning.

I am not sure if this would suit everyone but I eat breaky at work, but as soon as I have finished in the shower I make myself a hot drink. This helps in that I can then stomach a breakfast about 1 hour later.

Take it slowly. I have had 3 fills and due another in 4 days and I may not be able to have breakfast for some weeks. But when my body adjusts to the new fill, I am hoping that I will be able to have a reduced breakfast.

Hugs all
