Thanks so much Dr keeps telling me Gas Ex It doesn't help Going to eliminate different foods to try and find which food is causing the pain I can't wait to get home and try the milk of magnesia I'll forever love you if this works !!!

And that helps get rid of it? I'm going to try it Thank you

I feel like I have to burp and I have severe gas pain under my left breast I haven't been able to burp since my surgery on 9/20 It's even worse after I drink something cold. ! Any one else have this ? Gas ex does NOTHING

I had surgery 9/20 I still have some pain under my left breast Especially after drinking too much Water How can you tell what's causing the pain? I think it's gas but I'm not sure! I really have no clue how the band should feel!!! I didn't think my band would involve pain!

Yes a total jerk I'm sure he was trying to be funny But he didn't make any of us smile

Wow How many calories do you consume each day What kind of excercise That's a ton of weight in such a short time You go girl !

Thanks for the response This forum is great Because it is hard to know what is normal

I meant drinking. Darn spell check !

Can fringing too much water an hour after eating cause pain in the chest area? I'm 4 weeks post op

I have a small individual blender 15.00 from Walmart Works great

I'm from Phg but I live in Tampa now

I tried it along with a million other gimmicks before my band ! I did NOTHING ! Don't waste your Money !

My weight varies daily within 4-5 lbs depending on the time of day ! I think it's normal

8oz of food is not the same as volume in a measuring cup Food has different mass and volume A cup of pork chop weighs different than a cup of lettuce for example A cup really is a guide ... Just stop eating when you get a sign from your band My sign is I hic-up ! Good luck

Yes I also had the same When I woke up I kept telling the nurse I couldn't breathe She said my oxygen level was good It took a few weeks to feel normal Good Luck

That's great I had a lot of post op pain for three days Before you know it you will be skinny !

I mix mine with unsweetened almond milk and trivia sweetner and it is thick and creamy and sweet

You are a very funny lady Thanks for making me smile I mostly eat eggs, tuna , fish, canned pears, Greek yogurt I am not allowed veggies and beans and such I'd stay away from them !!! I hope you don't explode ! LOL Surgery date 9/20/12

Patty Strain meaning going to the bathroom ? I gave pain in my chest I did a lot of housework and now it really hurts Not sure how the band is supposed to feel !

Thanks for the reassurance !

I hope nothing ripped inside of me

Had my surgery 9/20 Started soft food last Thursday Had tuna for lunch but now t have pain in my band area and did not eat dinner Now I'm worried Can too much physical activity hurt my band only 3 weeks after surgery? I did not lift anything Only heavy house cleaning like scrubbing floors. Maybe I ate lunch too fast? I know I'm a worry wart but I'm a self pay and don't have extra money if something goes wrong ! Any thoughts?

Hi Jean I'm enjoying reading your books and looking forward to trying your recipes !

So sorry you need another surgery God Bless

Walflower I'm in Tampa too Who is your surgeon?
