I was banded May 27th and am on soft foods and decided to try eating a a local family resturant that serves light small portion meals.

I had a piece of baked fish ( small) and a couple carrots (that I had to chew and chew) a couple bites of potato... and felt fine..

Later on I started to get a tummy ache.. feels like gas.. so walked.. hot tea.. Gas X... all the usual.. Nothing helped... went to bed.. and this morning just having liquids .. but still have the pain.

.. It is not terrible... a dull ache... I wonder if the couple carrots did this??? they were not cooked as soft as I would like... it feels like gas but normally that will pass for me...

Anyone have something like this..? what helps? The pain is in my mid section. Thanks!!

Have you called your doctor? I bet they can give you advice and that will give you comfort. The worst part for me is the not knowing. If I feel a little discomfort or a strange sensation... I am OK as long as I know it is normal. I have not had any tummy aches but the gas has been terrible. Even now... 4 weeks post op... it can hit like a ton of bricks with no warning. Gas X helps a ton but my stomach is really noisy since surgery. How about you? Sometimes I think it is so loud that surely other people hear it. Hope you feel better soon...

LOL.. I know.. mine is very loud too!

Maybe it is just gas.. it feels that way.. I am going to stay on full liquids today for a bit and see if it settles... I am at work but I will try and get out and walk at Lunch. If I still have it this afternoon I may call. I just can't tell if its Gas... but honest... it really could be..

I was banded the same time you were. I get those pains whenever I eat vegatables now, and I'm assuming its gas. I use Gas X and walking. The first time it happened I laid down with a heating pad -- was not at all the trick. Walking was ten times better.

Good luck! If it keeps up be sure to call the doc's office before they go home for the weekend. You don't want to "not know" what will help by the end of the day!
