Hi, what you describe sounds like fullness. That is the feeling I get if I eat too much. The horrible thanksgiving I ate too much feeling, but higher up in the middle of the chest. Take smaller sips and bites. If you over exert your body it may also be soreness.

I had surgery February 18,2011. I am 30yrs. I have lost 38lbs. so far. I had my 2nd adjustment today. I am still very nervous about this new journey. I can't believe I have actually lost weight. Today I weigh 333 lbs. I feel very doubtful about my wight loss but at the same time very, very hopeful.

Hi, Don't be discouraged. When I had by banding I felt a little emotional too. Be careful with physical exercise at first. My main goal after surgery was to heal first. The issue with not feeling hungry at first went away as I started to heal and the swelling went down. soon my appetite returned. Listen to your body. Most of what you describe is similar to what I experienced and felt. Bruises will go away in a few days, if you typically heal well. Best Wishes.
