Has anyone here woken up in the morning and looked at their stomach and it looked smaller? Why is that? everyday when I wake up, my stomach is more compact and smaller, but as soon as I drink something or eat something, I get a bloated stomach....

    Also, when I go in the shower in the morning, my stomach gets bigger when I put water on it....:/

    I suppose it's because your stomach is empty from fasting while you slept. I've never noticed it in myself, but I have noticed when my dad gets up in the morning his stomach looks deflated. :P

    Yes. Your stomach loses its bloat from fasting all night and your bones also expand making you a teeny bit taller too. Not sure if thats true but I heard it from my teachers in school.
