Question:
when i eat food first thing in the a.m. I get real sick after a few bites

I do my my protein shake for breakfast everyday. But when i try to eat a small amount of egg & sliced ham I get so sick I am running to the bathroom to puke. When i do it look like spit or mucous, and it be alot. After that I feel fine. for lunch I have a 2 crackers with tuna. I feel fine & for dinner I have some mashed potatoes & sliced turkey or ham & maybe a shake later on. But i dont get sick no more. It is just first off when I eat food, I get sick & i have to go puke. Either it's soup or my protein shake. After I puke I feel ok for the rest of the day. I make sure I dont over eat at all. so please help-- Nov 10 285 / 250 / goal 150    — Ruschell (posted on January 9, 2005)

Seems lots of people have a problem early on with eggs. I have a problem with eggs if I eat them in the morning.....don't know why since I can eat them any other time and be okay with them. I thought it was because I was eating too fast but slowed way down and still had the problem in the morning but I find that I cannot eat first thing in the morning at all anyway, doesn't matter what it is so I never eat anything until around 9:00 or later.

I STILL DO THIS TOO AND IM NEARLY 4 MONTHS POSTOP. I HAVE FOUND THAT DRINKING SOMETHING HOT HELPS ME. I DRINK A SF INSTANT BREAKFAST (HOT) AROUND 7 AM AND THEN EAT "BREAKFAST" AROUND 9AM. THIS HELPS ME I THINK, B/C I HAVE ALLERGY DRAINAGE LEFT IN THE POUCH FROM NIGHTTIME. FOR WHATEVER REASON, THIS WORKS FOR ME. GOOD LUCK. LESLIE 312/220/170??

I cannot eat anything solid in the morning either. After 2 1/2 years I still just have a lot to drink in the morning, preferrably a protein shake or some soy milk.

I was told that sinus drainage and saliva end up in your stomach overnight. It is best to drink hot tea to push that stuff through before trying to eat anything in the morning. Hopefully this makes sense and is helpful to you.

Hi: For some odd reason, I can't eat traditional breakfast foods for breakfast. I found that I do really well with maybe a little bit of leftovers from dinner the night before or just a piece of toast. I also found tha a warm cup of tea for about the 1st 2 hours in the morning sets my stomach just right for the rest of the day. Try lots of different things til you find out what works....Maybe it will be part of a cheese quesadilla or part of the leftover casserole.
