Oh yeah, I still have my gall bladder

I stopped measuring my food. The nausea comes and goes... I think I will go see my PCP

Happy Birthday and congratulations.

I was banded 4/24 and have had I fill. My stomach hurts all the time even before the fill. It hurts when it's empty. It hurts when it's full. Does anyone have this problem? Any ideas? I want some relief:( How do you keep the stomach gas down? Could it just be a constant build up of gas? It feels like muscle pain both top and bottom but never together. Like a weight is sitting near my belly button. I don't know how else to describe it.

Do you feel guilty if you eat a not so healthy food, even if it keeps you in your calorie range???

I have the same issue... But I'm still learning my triggers. It's been hurting since the surgery

I'm a teacher in the south suburbs of Chicago. I went back Monday felt awful from gas pain. So I took two more days off. I hv my 1st post op appt tomorrow. Going back to work Thursday.

I feel like I'm the only one hungry;( it seems like all the time. Which is new for me because I'm a under eater. I hv always prefered to drink my meals so the liquid diet has been easy. But the hunger pains every few hrs I didn't expect. I thought I would be full longer. I see the dr tomorrow on my 8 th day post op. I'm ready for more food just to feel full. Any guesses as to why I'm always hungry???

Great! I'm always looking for suggestions. 110? That's awesome.

4/24 I had surgery. First day back wad too tough, the has pain was unbeaten! I'm stay home two more days:( kids don't understand my teacher can't move because she hurts.

I have lost 12lbs. I was banded on 4/24 too. But last night I weighed again and had gained 2lbs. I've decided not to worry about weight loss until I can excersice. I hv my first dr. appt. Wed.

I'm a 2 nd grade teacher 6 days post op. I tried to return To work today. Bad idea! The gas pain was horrible. I thought the walking would do me good. Yeah, no. I took more pain meds at work than I have at home. Soo I'm going to wait a few more days and try again. What did other teachers do?

Rain research says it takes 7 weeks to form new habits. You can make it! 7 weeks to a better life, a better you! Get a calendar count down. Preop- postop- recovery- new you! 7 weeks away. Be encouraged

Thanks guys the peppermint tea worked really quickly. I also got a back massage that helped to move it around too. Ifit happends again I'm trying the "toot" juice:) I also like the movement from being in the car.

Gas x did nothing:( trying the tea now. I need a break! Still glad I did it though:)

Ok it's been 4 days of chest pain from gas. Why can't they just take it out!!! Walking didt help eating hurts because I feel full. My heart rare changes. Omg I'm so miserable I can't belch. Talked to a massage therapist today and she said the gas can cause a heart attack!!! What now? Do I call the dr?

Day 4 chest pain still hurts. But it's not as frequent yay! I'm up and dressed. I'm going to try leaving the house today. Today's goal is to increase water intake. I'm determined to return to work Monday.

I don't eat the bits in the soup. Try rocking for chest pain and watch you body position

Took a hot shower and it worked wonders for the gas pain. Now I'm trying this rocking method cause walking didn't matter. Best of luck

It's been three days and my chest is still fill of unmovable gas. Let me know if you find something that helps cause walking isn't working fir me.

Yay! Congrats! Your on your way now!

I'm on day three too. I'm down 10lbs! Unbelievable. I'm eating thicker liquids with mo problem loving the 35 g protein ensure. I'm much more hungry today and thsts good because I didn't eating yesterday. The chest pain is the worst. Walked for an hr with no relief. But pain meds help. Panera bread broccoli cheese soup has been a good friend too. Lol think I'll have some now! Hungry again!

The fluids go down ok it just causes has pain ony chest. As far as I can tell I'm not dehydrated. Thanks for the advice. O look forward to being able to leave the house tommorrow.
