  1. I had terrible pain in my back and between my shoulder blades for 3 weeks. Talked to dr. And it was the gas they put in your stomach. Mostly gone now week 4.
  2. No. It is fine. If you try to swallow a big piece you know it. It takes a split second and you feel like you might get sick if you swallow anything else. Your mouth will water warning you.
  3. I lost 23.5 lbs in first 3 weeks. 0 in week four. Waiting on a fill. I can eat to much I think. Your fine.
  4. Well it happens. I didn't get sick either and I'm on day 27. Try taking soup and putting it in the blender. Doesn't matter what kind because when your done it is liquid but it taste great. That way you get something good but meet the soft food aspect.
  5. I had lap band 2/7/13. My stomach hurts from time to time during the day. It comes up like hunger pain and makes me feel bad. I have not had a fill yet due on 3/18. But I can eat lunch and within 2-3 hours my stomach hurts eating makes it subside mostly but not completely. I feel like the pain is making me eat when I'm not really hungry. When I get up at like 7 if I don't eat by 9-10 it is really bothering me. Any advice?

  7. Thanks sounds normal then. Walking does make it go away for a while
  8. Good afternoon. I got lap band done 2/7/13. I sometimes feel strange and wanted to know if it is normal. I have high blood pressure but it is controlled. It is hard to describe but it is like when you played contact sports and got hit some, the next day between your shoulder blades and around your ribs a discomfort. Not really a pain It is not all the time but if I'm in a chair for couple hours sitting up I feel it. Has anyone felt this. I am also about 18 lbs less than my weight on 2/4 Thanks
