O.K I have done really well until the last couple of day this holiday season. Don't get me wrong, I am still eating a tremendous amount less than what I used to. I haven't felt sick the couple of times I overate, but I had some pain and discomfort. Is this normal? Also, I am 6.5 weeks post op and everytime I lay on my left side I feel like I am lying on a lump of something. I never had this feeling before. Does anyone else feel this when they are lying on their left side? Hope everyone had a great Christmas and hope everyone has a safe New Year.

I had that funny feeling on my left side when I would lay down for about 2 months, then it just suddenly went away.

It is normal to have pain when you overeat, that is why as soon as you start to feel full, you need to stop eating. You don't want to put too much pressure on the band in the beginning. I get a tight sensation in my chest and I know if I take one more bite, I'm going to either be in pain or throw up.
