Is it possible for band to be tighter in AM?
Yes it was explained to me when we sleep the fluid in our bodies shift and it makes our band tight.. most of us have to drink coffee or tea in the morning to "open" our bands up a bit..
In the beginning I did protein shakes because it's all I could get down.. or yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal with pb or protein powder.. stuff like that.. I can eat more solid protein now but my band is a lot looser haven't had a fill in awhile..

Not only possible, but likely!
It takes me about 2 hours after I wake up before I can eat anything solid.
So, I normally start drinking my water 1st thing in the mornings.
Alot of people say that drinking hot beverags helps loosen their band???

Many are tighter in the AM.

OC Momma, Oh yeah, got a 1cc fill Jan 21, 2011 and now have 7.5cc's in my 10cc band. Right now I am really sticking with the band rules (which I had been struggling with) eating more than a cup per meal. So, now it's coffee and my vits in the early am, then SF Carnation Instant Breakfast for BK and lunch...then I can have a snack and eat my dinner real slow. When you first have the fill your band takes a while to adjust (sometimes that's a day, sometimes it's months). I don't PB or slime because I am sticking with the "cup" rule and eating slow, chewing well. If I get the signal (nose running, soft burp or feel any pressure in my chest) I stop eating and know I'm done!
Good luck!
