Can you get liquids down in the AM?

I have alot of restriction in the morning, to the point where I can't usually e njoy a meal until 3pm or so.

I woke up this morning and tried to have a protein shake, and boy was it tight .It defiitely was backed up. How small must my opening be to not even let liquid flow down freely? I dont have an overfill because after 3pm Im good as gold to have nice sized meals. I guess my sips were too big or something. It took about 45 minutes for the liquid I drank to go down, and it wasnt even half a cup..

Any comments??

hi,
i find that i am REALLY tight in the early mornings (wake up at 530 to go work out). i can usually drink a bit when i'm finished (730/800ish), but if i try to drink during, it is just aweful, i felt nauseated and just not right. i have my first fill next Monday so i'm thinking it will get worse.

I am also very tight in the mornings and can only do liquids until about lunch time.

Not sure by your name if you are a female or not, but is at or close to that time of month? I get so tight during the first few days before and for several days during that I am limited to practically liquids only for the entire duration.

I ve heard several bandsters open their bands in the morning either with hot liquids or iced drinks. Mine works better with cold drinks....

I can do liquids in the morning but sometimes I feel them quite a bit. Try a warm liquid before your protein shake, like a 1/4 cup of hot tea. That helps some people.

I have never had a problem with liquids in the morning. I do wait an hour or so after waking up before I attempt to eat. I don't know why except I just don't "feel" like eating first thing.

I also have more restriction in the morning and help loosen things up with something warm to drink.
