Question:
Eating in the morning
I have lots of trouble eating in the morning, but it seems to get better throughout the day, I'm 6 weeks post op (VSG). Has anyone else experienced this? — [Deactivated Member] (posted on April 17, 2010)

I had RNY on 2/19/10. I have never been a morning eater and I found that
this didn't change much. I try to drink in the early morning and then eat a
little later. This works for me. I do not like the protein shakes so I just
drink water or tea. Sometimes I drink fat free milk for the protein. I
found that I have more problems with texture early in the morning but like
you it gets better throughout the day.

I had lap band in February. The thought of food first thing in the morning
is a major issue. I've always been one to love breakfast and wanted to eat
as soon as my feet hit the floor. Not anymore. I do coffee and then
around 9 or so I eat cold cereal. Seems to work better for me...then
continue on with lunch, a cheese string or small serving of fruit around 3
and the dinner at 6-7pm. My surgeon explained that my band is tighter in
the morning so an early,heavy breakfast is out of the question.

Congratulations on your surgery, now let's get down to business my weight
loss sister. I know I must get in 60 grams of protein a day. I do not
know what your Dr. has told you but protein is essential with our
surgeries. Can you do protein shakes, I usually take my first protein
shakes at around 8:30. To me it is criminal when a surgeon doesn't tell
their patients what they should have or have not. My awesome Dr. gave me a
booklet with everything in it, including my different phases of foods and
vitamin regime.
Our surgeries are a life changing experience in our lives, therefore we
should be taught the new way of eating. Thank God I went to the Dr. I went
to.
Love yourself that much to demand to know what you need for this.
Good luck!

I had the DS in May of '09. I had trouble eating at any time of day for the
first 4 weeks or so. After that I had a better time of it. We all progress
differently but it sounds like you're probably not that different than many
of us. Keep on fighting the good fight. You're gonna love how muhc better
you life will be!!

You are still very new to this journey..only 6 weeks. Try just doing a
protein shake in the mornings. I use the Premier brand chocolate shakes
from Costco. 32 grams of protein, almost no sugar or fat and they are
yummy! We have a tendency to accumulate fluid while in bed sleeping, your
pouch is smaller, but that will improve through the day. You have done a
great thing for yourself with this surgery...best of luck on your journey!
