Sounds like gas pains. Make sure you are walking, it is the number one way to get rid of the gas. You will fart & start feeling better. I had the hernia repair, it was terrible trying to swallow, felt like water just "sat" there. Once the swelling went down I was able to drink more. I took meds around the clock for the first 24 hours after that just as needed & walked more felt better. Good luck!

I felt the same way. I dropped 50 pounds fast in my first year, I was upset, I wanted 60-70.. I lost only 7 in the next year, I maintained. I went online & got a food list of Low Glycemic Index foods & started watching everything that went into my mouth. Measured it all. 1 cup or less... I walked daily. Next month's check up! Down 15 pounds & 3 pounds each month for the last 2 months. I'm now going to get back on track & I'm hitting the gym with a trainer too. I want my last 42-47 pounds GONE! Good luck! You can do this!!When you start feeling "gassy" walk.. Walking is excellent for getting rid of gas. I'm a surgical nurse too lol pain meds don't always work on has pain, but walking does you belch & fart & aww feel much better. Good luck!You look great!Yay!! You're going to do amazing! I was banded in March 2011.. What an adventure! Good luck!It is expensive for fills anywhere you go. Thank goodness for insurance. I haven't had a fill in over a year. I have a 10cc band & have 7.5cc in it. I hope it works out for you.
