Why Do I Feel So Full Two Days Post-Op?

By dliteful!

· 786 views

Okay experienced bandsters..here's a question for you....I had surgery two days ago and I know for a fact my band is empty. Why do I feel like I already have a fill? It's so hard to consume all of the protein I'm supposed to because my stomach feels so full (it's amazing and wonderful and I love it!!!)

 

Why is this? Is it because of swelling? Maybe just having the band on my stomach is making me feel that way? I am so excited about how I feel and can't wait for results!!!

    Hello Dliteful!

    I really hope you are feeling good today.Any changes? Also, I would like to know if the scars of the procedure are big? Visible?

    I felt this way for the first couple of days... It was broth and jello and tons of water... I had to get some chewable gas-x (store was out of strips).. after three days it felt like it loosened up and I was able to get more broth down..
